Your are right, in WPA the newsies know that PA folks are all red necked, tobacco chewing, gun toten, Bible thumpen Stiller fans, and we know how to find out where the newsies live.
My neighbor just left for two weeks on vacation {unemployment is 6.2% because of Marcellus drilling in WPA} and he axed me to watch his house in his absence.
If I see anybody doing a B & E, the police will be the least of their worries.
Heck, I even carry a snubby in my golf bag, never know when one of those crazy, ol' white pubbies will go all skin head on me.
Yeah, I’m in SWPA. Drilling everywhere, good jobs.
Last year, down the road, someone broke into the home of a one legged Vet while he was there and they had a brief shoot out with the bad guys skedaddling. He had a .45 ACP, they had a 9mm, nobody hit. Reporter asked him if he would do anything different (fishing for an anti-gun comment maybe?). He said “Yeah, I’ll keep my shotgun closer next time”.
