what sort of gangs/groups are doing this in alabama (from mississippi so assuming it is probably pretty similar at home)?
” 3-7-77. ;-D “
Had to look that one up —
Yup... ;)
Some of them have been caught and the culprits were redneck trash types.
Some of the stuff has been found, for instance my old four wheel drive farm truck has been stolen and recovered twice. My brother in law's 97 F150 was stolen then recovered...sheriff didn't even call him to tell him it had been recovered...he happened to see it sitting in the impound lot. ATVs and other stuff have not been recovered.
I'd bet ten large the culprits were mixed up in either Crystal or RX drugs like Oxy (Or both).
I live in NJ; that sign itself is probably illegal./s
I would never advertise a firearm in my home like that.
Just got through reading “Shadow People”. Meth-driven crime is eating at the Heart of rural America. Author is Scott Thomas Anderson. We work with the Meth- driven, and their Children. The book is very good, only about 175 pages but worth the read. They of course or not the only Thieves in our Rural California areas but most of it here. Nothing to drive by a lot and see a Trailer, Motorhome, camper, sitting there that you can look right through. If its not watched or on a Foundation they will strip it.
I lived in Columbus Ga off and on from “75” when I was stationed at ft Benning until about “86”.
I say off and on because i left after I got out of the service, then returned two more times, once in “79, and another time I returned in “86”.
Lot of good memories in that area, but it always was a place of high crime. I remember my Uncle telling me that when he was stationed at Benning that Phenix City Al was known as Sin city because of all the gambling and whore houses that were controlled by the Southern mafia that also controlled the sheriff, city mayor and even the local Judges.
By the time I lived there, Phenix had been cleaned up, but Columbus had become more of a problem with crime. I guess the fact that low lifes will always hangout by military bases looking for easy pickings from the soldiers.
Especially when you add in the trainees at the Airborne school, and foreigners attending Long Range Surveillance Leaders Course (RSLC) Ft. Benning’s International Student Training center, plus the Army Ranger program.
Ft Benning has become quite an internationally recognized place, so I can only imagine how many foreigners hang out there that are not in the military.
You might if you lived in Texas, or any number of other states where your 2nd Amendment rights are respected and upheld.
“You might if you lived in Texas, or any number of other states where your 2nd Amendment rights are respected and upheld.”
If you went on vacation I’d bet anyone who wants a firearm would know just where to steal one (or several); maybe they’d be caught, maybe not, but why advertise? Any federal agencies working in Texas would have a pretty good idea that you have guns as well, and as we saw in Katrina they won’t respect or uphold your gun rights.
Live in fear, or live in Texas.
“My neighbor used to have geese as watch dogs...they are the best. Just not as lovable as a dog :)”
IIRC, it is (or was) a fairly common practice in the Middle East to use peacocks as watch dogs; the birds are as loud as Hell and cannot contract the rabies virus.
You are correct! Loud squawkers too! Some people around here have them on their farms with alpacas, emus-those kind of places. And in the summer, you’ll actually hear them scream before you see them-as you drive by! I thought I hit something first time I heard it driving past this WildLife Preserve place.
Wonder how vicious they are tho? We have fisher cats here, fox and of course coyotes and they love their poultry/fowl!
We’ve got a fox running around here starting around 5pm last few nights-ran right past my house on the road, then my husband saw him up by the fishing bridge a few days later, same time of day. He doesn’t look rabid or anything, I think he’s a young one who’s just learning the ropes and doesn’t know what he’s doing!
You have to be ready for anything out here-between animals-like the fox just trotting by my front yard when I am usually outside with my dog-glad I wasn’t...to the occasional car chase with the State Police in hot pursuit; we live on a CT back-country road that goes to RI or MA-had that happen last Thursday...honestly...it’s never dull-for long that is.....

“Wonder how vicious they are tho?”
That, I don't know.
Fisher cats scare me - they scream too.
Sounds like you have much activity in your neck of the woods; stay safe!
