I picked my current property and house carefully. I don't have neighbors
except for on one side. After a few "anal" types in my previous

experience

I wanted to minimize any chances for that occuring again.

Sheesh.


Having normal neighbours around could interfer with your antics, eh?





Henry's former neighbors objected to his shooting his guns at anything
that cast a shadow on his lawn.

LoL, actually I have a police officer neighbor a few door away that shoots
snakes in his yard. He is deathly afraid of snakes and his house backs
up to a bayou.

We have 8 foot brick walls around our yards here and the echo/amplification
effect is very disconcerting early in the morning.

Normal citizens can't get away with that kind of behavior. I have snakes
in my yard too but most of them are benign. I choose to use a shovel
to dispatch anything that is poisonous such as the 4-foot copperhead
my Dachshunds alerted to recently.

I had a rattlesnake under my truck when I first moved in. Rattlers are
not as common around these parts and are usually found closer to the
coast. He attacked my truck tire and tried to bite it a couple of times.
I ran over it backing out of the driveway and it slithered off.

I gave my police officer neighbor some .22 shot shells for Christmas.
Less chance of richochet.

As far as guns and shooting go though, there was a lot of more of that
sort of thing going on when I had to work and live in Detroit years ago.
