Peace officers such as this exist all over rural america.

We dare defend our rights. War Eagle!

Wonder if he went over and reminded the complainer that this is (still) the USA.

Most are the good kind, especially in rural America like you said, but they don’t make the news. It’s the idiots that we usually hear about.

Alas, too bad that this is considered the epitome of good LEO response.

Better would be to dismiss the anguished call(s) from the pussified with "no response required."

"Gunshots in the country? What are you going to call us about next, dirt on the ground?"

"He then made comments about how dumb it is for people to move to the country then expect things to be like they are in the city."

True. There are also times, when city slickers fail to learn country etiquette before going out for target practice on their newly acquired vacant lots. ...supersonic rounds pinging the air over distant neighbors' heads. Not cool.

The moral: avoid bothering the neighbors with either frivolous complaints or by firing in the direction of their house.

My brother in law & son in law were up in the mountains target practicing when a female game warden drove up. My son in law wanted her to feel comfortable so he set his pistol on the tailgate or his truck and stepped away.

She wrote him up for having a loaded handgun in a vehicle.

I had a similar interaction near Madison, of all places. ...but we were only shooting BB guns at the time.

The officer did remind us that Dane County people are a bunch of anti-gun nutters and suggested we find someplace more friendly to shooting since she would have to come out any time a neighbor decided to call.

We bought part of an old homestead in rural Alaska and our neared neighbor was six miles away. And it was wonderful, had an entire valley to ourselves, but didn't last.

Few months after we got settled in, heard a chainsaw one day, Knew what Daniel Boone felt upon hearing the sound of an unknown axe clearing ground. Within a year we had four families move into the valley.

The guy who sold to us said he had the properties on the market for years and nothing had sold until we moved in. He wanted to thank us for helping start the sales. I know it was wrong, but felt like using an ax on him for saying it.

Hmm, well he was lucky that he didn't get these guys, which seem like more the norm these days.

I know of a officer who handled the same type of complaint and ended doing a little target shooting with the land owners. They went on to become good freinds and doing lots of shooting and hunting togather.

Now that was a good cop. Only way it could have gotten better is if the cop took a few shots.
