Things are different in rural Oklahoma!!!

I was shooting in my front yard yesterday. It's about 80 yards to my steel targets and I was shooting a scoped 22 rifle. A car drove by slowly then turned around and stopped near my mailbox. Then a lady got out and asked me for directions. Things are sure different here than in many parts of the country for a lady to approach a stranger with a rifle to ask directions. I like it here.

I want to move out to the country soon though. I get the planes from tinker over my house now. Plus side is nobody will bother me since I wemt to training jist carrying my shotgun over my shoulder.

We bought the house when were got stationed at Tinker. Back then gas was a buck a gallon and we didn't mind the drive.

Can do that here in IN too...I shoot off the front or back decks, people drive by 200' from me and keep going. Pretty soon after i start shooting, you'll hear the neighbors start up...sound like music, but we're actually doing a communication thing....bang bang bang(how are you?), bang bang (good! you?)...bang bang bang (not bad)..and so on and so on.
I couldn't live in a town, I'd be in jail or prison

Yessir. When I got home yesterday I tested some .357 rounds out back. Can you imagine that? Shooting in the back yard, in shirt sleeves, in late January.

AND!!! My county sheriff is on record for NO MORE GUN LAWS!!!! and not gonna enforce any that are unconstitutional.

Yea trust me I kmow. I am a deputy and it was a block from my house. If I hadnt had my 1 year old at home with me I probably would have gone to look. As I had just got home from work and was still dressed. But I sat upstairs watching for information and runners to keep my kiddo safer. I was actually upset that shots fired calls took that long to respond too. I know they are busy but there are generally about 5-6 officers on patrol at the college two blocks away.

I stopped one of the officers to give him the info I had and he said the college guys thought it was a joke. He was reporting them to his supervisors.
