Gotta agree. Guns are simply another tool to people in rural areas. I know of someone whose ranch actually falls under the jurisdiction of the Ute reservation. Well, his house is at the tippy most end of it, and last time he had to call the police, it took the Ute tribal cops 2 hours to show up. By that time the problem had been peacefully settled. My acquaintance shoot his rife over the top of the head of an individual who had driven 45 minutes down a very bad dirt road just to see the sights at 3:00 am and became inspired to attempt to break into one of the rancher's barns. The "sight see-er" got uninspired real quick and took off down the dirt road never to be seen again - at least not at
that rancher's place.
Oh, the local 3 page paper put the incident on the front page.
