That's why I suspect you're a city girl imagining what it's like in the county. An armed person, who knows the neighbors, and knows that crime is vanishingly rare, isn't exactly terrified or quick on the trigger. If there are weird noises outside, the average rural person assumes that either a cow got out, racoons are up to no good, or kids are playing pranks. They do not run out the back door shootin'. Shoutin', maybe.

Yes, indeed, but most rural folks do not hide their car so that it was not visible in the driveway, ring the doorbell and hide. The woman saw the shadow of a person. I am not a city girl. I know that most folks in rural areas have more sense than to pull a prank such as these girls.

If you are a rural resident, you should realize that there is a lot of crazy meth users in rural areas as well as the city. Sorry, but your little scenerio of a safe rural haven is bogus.

By the way, no guns were involved in this episode.
