Y’all stay safe in your small town.
You’re right; they were probably scouting. Doesn’t hurt to get some range time in and have a coordinated plan with your best neighbors though.
Lord have mercy-late in the game for that. All most all the neighbors are new-moved in this year except for a couple of little old ladies. Could even be BLM or sympathizers-heavily Dem County.
Never used to have any pubbies on the ballot-changed in 2012-and got a very few in office. Saving grace is that most are socially conservative Dems. Obama only won last election by 4 votes in the county.
So they are out there-but no one’s revealing where they are to outsiders—We have lived here since 1969, but we were not born here, so we are still outsiders-as are our kids. Our grandkids and GGrandkids are natives-because they married locals who were born and raised here.
Wishing I was back in Springfield, MO-area in Reagan country with all our nieces and nephews and their kids. Big families with lots of Church and hunting experiences. Also my cousins are there same type.
A local business lady had relatives in the Mob in St. Louis-she was really nice person though and basically she did not associate with them after she got married and moved here. Her husband died, and she moved to a larger small town with Condos-sold all her property here.
May have to get a couple of big guard dogs. Ha.
