My mother lives in a rural area, and I kind of wish she'd get a rifle or shotgun, or something. Not really because of any crime element (although there are unruly kids who raise hell in the area sometimes), but a couple of times, there's been gigantic, aggressive bulls that have gotten loose from nearby properties, and came a little too close to her house. Well, maybe not that close, but it made me nervous!
