We live out in the country, on a single lane dirt road that is at least 2 miles to the nearest paved road. Surrounded by trees, and very few neighbors nearby.
In the last several weeks things have been changing around here. People have been dumping their trash in the low water crossings, or on people's property along the road. There have also been a couple break in's recently. In fact there was one just down the road from us last week, where they broke out the front window's of the house and went after the home owner with a knife.
This is not my situation, just one I read on another site!
Now tonight, I happened to be awake around 0100 and hear a truck gunning it's engine out in front of our property. I look out and see it going past my property real slow, and stop just down the road. I grab a weapon, and flashlight, close the front door, and wait on the dark front porch to see what is going on. I see the lights from the truck, and they move down the road a little further. Then it sounds like they get stuck while trying to turn around.
About this time I notice something in my driveway, right at my gate. I can tell it's another vehicle. I fire off 2 rounds above the vehicle, and they suddenly start up, lights come on, and they haul ***** as I put another 4 rounds over their roof. About this time the wife wakes up, and I tell her to call the Sheriff. I wait outside to see what's going to happen with the other vehicle, and for the Sheriff to show up. The whole time I can hear voices, and the truck engine revving up as they are trying to get unstuck. This goes on for close to an hour, with several additional calls to the S.O.
SO by 0245, the stuck truck has called for help, and somebody came and pulled him out. Then they drove past my property like Satan was chasing after them, and the Sheriff is still a no show at 0420. They want my Guns?? Good luck with that!!!!
p.s.- I wonder what those tracers looked like coming at them in the rear view mirror??? Hehehe!!!
