I have gotten in the habit of keeping my pistol close at hand while around home. Let me tell you, it has come in handy when unwanted visitors showed up and ignored my posted signs and gate at the end of the driveway.
For the longest time I had issues with the Jehovha's (sp?) coming to my home. I politely paid them lip service and asked them never to come back, I have my own beliefs. Do they respect my wishes, heck NO! You would think that my 2 german shep's that were getting agitated because I wasn't happy would have been a deterant, oh no. So the next time they showed up I had my .45 on my hip and politely told them they were not welcome here. Now, they don't show up if I am home, only when my truck is gone and they see the hubby outside. So frustrating!
One other time I was out behind our home digging worms with my very young daughters when a man came around the corner of the house. His eyes bugged out when I got up and he saw the pistol on my hip. I instructed the kids to go inside and asked him what he wanted. He said he was from an assessors office and was there to assess my property for the town. He just needed a quick look around. At this point I was livid because I knew the gate was closed on the driveway (a few hundred yards long) and he came in anyways and he didn't make an appointment. I ever so nicely asked him to leave and if he was really from the assessors office they can call to make an appointment. I was not just going to let him scope out my property, I don't know that this guy is who he says he is, especially with my daughters around. Needless to say he wasn't very happy because he would have to make a special trip back to the area, but that wasn't my problem.
Before I sent him on his way I was sure to let him know that he had NO right to ignore my gate and signs and just enter my property. And that next time I won't be so nice.
I did check out the company and they did call to make an appointment. When he came back I was still armed and he made it real quick.
I do believe he won't be showing up here again without an appointment!
It would be real nice if people would respect other people and their property a wee bit more.
