True, I was referring to *before* Rule By Angry Mob replaced Rule of Law.

Where in eastern Idaho? I used to live there decades ago as a younger teenager. Fly fished like crazy...I spent the summer outside a 1 stoplight town in eastern Idaho. Just got home a few days ago. Man, what a difference. I could walk out back and shoot everything I brought except the tannerite. World class trout fishing 4 miles away. But I did order a cookbook this morning and it was on my doorstep 3 hours later and made 4 trips to different gun stores yesterday to start my first AR build. Pros and cons I guess
How about this?
Build a giant slingshot, and practice launching water balloons from your back yard into the street in front of your place. Get someone to watch through a front window who can give you feedback on your phone about where your shots are landing, so you know how/where to aim.
Then - if you are so unlucky as to be visited by The Mob, make up ten or twenty water balloons with interesting additives. Dye, skunk juice, etc. Nothing lethal, but definitely something that should make people want to leave in a hurry.
If it's night time when they show up at your place, they probably won't even know where the balloons are coming from. Thump'em with a few, and I bet they'll leave.
Of course, you'd have to live with whatever stench you laid down on the street, until it wore off. But you probably wouldn't have to shoot anyone.
And if you did paint a bunch of people some weird color - and made them stink to high heaven - maybe they'd think twice about bothering people at their homes during the night.
Just an idea.
My family lives outside Victor, ID. I picked up fly fishing just this summer and was immediately addicted. Literally went fishing 5 days a week minimum. Have been looking to go since I got back to Seattle but can't seem to find where the good spots are. Sounds like the fly fishing out here may be more wet flies and swing fishingWhere in eastern Idaho? I used to live there decades ago as a younger teenager. Fly fished like crazy...

I loved the experience of dry fly fishing for trout. I did a little spinner and wet fly, but it wasn't quite the same as getting a perfect presentation then staring at that fly on top of the water with the anticipation of watching it get takenTry using leech and minnow imitators on sinking lines and hitting local lakes and ponds for small mouth and large mouth. Go smaller for perch, bluegill too.
What has this country devolved into when a mob can surround your home, disturb your peace, and threaten your very existence, all with complete impunity?
Then, when you are INSIDE YOUR OWN HOME and prepare your defense, YOU are the one arrested?
There is a seriously phuq'd-up disconnect in what is lawful and what is not in this country right now...

I read one of those and the bar owner and accomplice went out onto the street and attacked someone who was not (no longer or never, hard to say) attacking the building. A lady jumped in on the struggle and one of the bar owner group pulled a firearm and supposedly shot two warning shots. That may not automatically make him the bad guy but it does muddy the water a bit. And warning shots are usually a really bad idea.Prosecution will be purely political. There's a bar owner in Omaha who shot a guy in SD, the prosecutor declined charges for that reason, and then community leaders, i.e., rioters and agenda pushers, turned the screws and now he is going to trial on a slew of charges.

Hey that's my move!What about warning piss? Can I piss in their general direction as a warning?
Hey that's my move!
Unless we're in an elevator...

I really hope that's all it is since a good attorney can deal with that. If it was an emotional outburst it could be way worse. This will be one to keep an eye on. We all know how these things get spun up in the press and frequently turn out to be pretty much the opposite of whatever the first headlines imply.From the 2nd article. Emphasis mine:
Special Prosecutor Frederick Franklin said much of the evidence that "undermined" the self-defense assessment came from Gardner himself.
"The grand jury was able to able to get evidence into Mr. Gardner's state of mind". Franklin said jurors were able to get insight into Gardner's "state of mind" and his actions before the shooting from his phone and Facebook account.
"There was evidence that was gathered and presented to the grand jury about activity that Jake Gardner was engaged in prior to even coming in contact with James Scurlock," he said, according to KETV. "Evidence to reasonably be construed as an intent to use a firearm for purposes of killing someone."
Interpretation: We read his online activity and are using that to read his mind and hang him for defending himself.
No telling what he "actually" said, but a statement as simple as "I carry in case a mob attacks me" can be reasonably construed as intent to kill with a firearm, even though you're within your rights to defend yourself. As our famous resident musketeer (Technically, muzzleloader) is keen on saying, be extremely careful what you say on this forum. Be thoughtful of if and how you express your righteous anger
The shooter was wearing a "Justice for Breonna Taylor" t-shirt. Naturally, the national media has completely ignored this story — which certainly would not have been the case if a mass shooter had been wearing a "Trump" shirt.
Because neither party truly has our best interests at heart.
