COLORADO SPRINGS, Co.(KXRM) – A traditional way of showing your support for presidential candidates may be bumper stickers or signs.
One local man has encountered his share of challenges in his effort to show his support for Donald Trump. Chuck Corry has made it a habit to post signs on his property but none have caused such a stir as the Donald Trump / Pence sign.
“I’m a Trump supporter,” Corry said. “But, I’m also pissed off.”
Corry is frustrated because he’s had to put up 5 signs over the last three weeks in his front yard. Now, he’s taken extreme measures to try and keep it intact.
The retired oceanographer added fence posts and put a spike board down. In case someone tries to run it over, they’ll sputter away with flat tires.
“I’ve been doing this for 16 years and I’ve had an occasional sign stolen. I’ve never had these kind of problems,” Corry said.
The 78-year-old has built in additional support to show his support. He’s put up plumbers tape, glue, steal cable, dog leash anchors and one more ingredient.
“Skunk spray!” Corry swears it’s been a deterrent. His sign has stood for a solid week. He’s also sprayed WD-40 on it too in case someone tries to paint over it.
Even the opposing party isn’t condoning this behavior.
Kathleen Ricker, the chair of the El Paso County Democrats said, “As long as we respect each other and rights to have signs, we’re all be okay. It’s our First Amendment right.”
Corry says he’s invested about $60 and six-man hours and he thinks it’s paid off – it’s been up for a solid week.
He said he’ll be ready if there’s another attempt to take it down.
“I’m a stubborn old man and a former Marine,” Corry added. “You wanna play games? Okay, I’m good at playing games.”
This is not an isolated incident.
It’s happened across the nation – one man in Lexington, Kentucky has chained his Trump sign to the ground to avoid theft.
Another man boobie-trapped his sign with electrical fence wire.
Instead of a hose leading to it, it can readily be placed in remote areas, and connected to a pressurized pump sprayer, filled with oil base paint of choice.
I thing bright orange or red would suffice.
Don't need but a few seconds of burst anyway, LOL
The new clear-coated acrylics unfazed by most of those.
Brake fluid works pretty well...or Zip Strip.

Cruel and inhuman!
I love it.
Skunk oil up someone’s leg, ruining the shoes and pants and soaking into the skin.
Only thing, if the vandal trips and falls, the punk might sue.
Some punk would say, “That guy tortured me, man! I was lost in the dark. Probably need to take more Vitamin A ...”
But it’s almost worth the risk, right?
BTW ... if a sign ‘just happens’ to be near a legal electric fence, the punk has no case. Things like that. You need plausible deniability.
Mix skunk oil with flashy paint — each color in seperate balloon for a nice splash of color.
Granddaughter had great idea. Spray paint trash cans in florescent orange. Buying it today

Nice. Good low-cost alternative to the cattle fence energizer.
“‘Another man boobie-trapped his sign with electrical fence wire.’
Now we’re talking! Might get sued, but still!”
The shock was a bit more than holding a 9V battery to your tongue. Harmless. It is on You Tube if you want to watch it : )

Funny story: my son had a little old mutt, who was the horniest dog I ever saw. Whenever there was a bitch in heat within a two-block radius, that dog would sit in the fenced back yard and howl continuously.
Finally, when his hormones took full control, he would try to climb the fence -- and got pretty good at it. So, I tacked chicken wire all around the inside of the fence -- and connected my "Zapper" to it.
That caused lots of yelping -- and soon brought fence-climbing to a halt. But that dog soon discovered he could tunnel under the fence!
So -- I ran a wire along the bottom of the fence where he squeezed under -- and soon was rewarded with a big chorus of pained yelps!
But "Love (or lust) conquers all"! When his horniness went offscale, I would hear a long series of yelps -- then, silence.
So I put the dog back in the the yard -- and watched... Almost immediately, he "made his break" again: about fifteen feet from the fence, he would start yelping -- in anticipation -- then yelp continuously as he squirmed under -- and then yelp for half a block as he ran away.
~~~~~~~~~
In admiration for that level of determination -- I just started leaving the gate open... '-)
