Thumbs up to gramps!
I would think the sheriff can roll up these mutts fairly quickly.
Hello Mr. Thief;
Now you know my face, and the fact that I won’t shoot you without engaging in a nice conversation first. So sorry you got away.
Why, I’m sure a nice fellow like you wouldn’t think of simply watching out for me, and killing me on sight - before robbing what remains of my possessions when you come back. Heck, I’m sure you won’t track me down and kill me; because there is a chance I might recognize you and act as a witness to your activities. I’m sure you won’t set fire to my house and kill me and my family “just in case”. Why, that would be downright ‘criminal’ of you.
-— Me, I sit quietly in the shadows, quietly pull my hammer back, slide off the safety - take easy aim and you won’t know I’m in the shadows until the muzzle-flash gives me away. 3 quick shots, 1 to the head, 2 center-mass of the torso. Then, I will quietly move to see if there are any more targets that present themselves, deserving of my attention. No worries, I have a clip with enough attention to go around. There will only be one story to tell the police, when they get around to swinging by, and that will be my version.
And the sheriff turns it into an ad for more taxes. How unusual LOL. “I’m not doing my job because I need more money.” I’ve actually had employees say that.
If he’s out in the boon docks, probably can’t get a signal...Just needs to shoot the sorry bastards...

Poor old guy. He shouldn't have to deal with this in his 90s. If I were nearby, I think I'd go over there and offer to help him guard his property.
BTW, is Missouri a castle doctrine state and do castle doctrine rules apply to someone who isn't necessarily guarding his own castle but someone else's?
I know how to pronounce Cairo, Cuba and New Madrid. Gravois Road is “gravoy”. I am wondering how they pronounce Bois d’arc, MO. I am guessing it is “boys dark”. Anyone know?
When one pulls a gun, the time for chit-chat should be over. You are either in danger, or you’re not.
