PRECEDENT:

During PROHIBITION years up in the mountains, federal revenue agents were driven off farms here by rocksalt shotgun fire and they never came back. They were searching for stills on all the farms and the first two they tried to step onto they were met with rocksalt. True story. After that they raided only the towns and villages, never the farms again, coz they learned their lesson about the Second Amendment which protects the whole bill of rights. Only the farmers had the guts to stand up to them. My great-grandmother kept a shotgun loaded with rocksalt next to her rocking chair on the front porch just for the occasion.
She always bragged to us when we were children that the revenooers were “so scared of an old lady sitting in a rocking chair with a shotgun fulla rocksalt. I still have that photo of her and her shotgun on the porch.

If you ever scan that photo, I'd love to see it :-)
