[QUOTE="Thunderfoot, post: 5717455, member: 34175"] Please understand that this is VERY tongue in cheek: We have a saying in the sticks where I live. "Up in Chicago and over in St. Louis they keep complaining about all these "self defense" crimes, shoot. There ain't no crime if they can't prove it didn't happen. And you know, it's amazing what a catfish will eat." IOW there is no proof of a crime if there isn't a body after the fact. I.e. Me: "Someone tried to break in my house, but I scared them away with my shotgun. You should warn the neighbors, officer." Officer: "Okay, y'all have a nice evening. Hey, John, APB on some guy (description) trying to B&E, fled after home owner used a personal security system." Officer John: "Roger that Chief. Should I actually put out the APB or should we assume they are sleeping in a pond somewhere?" Officer: "Put out the APB, that way the State Police won't show up snooping around in our business again." And it actually happens that way, sometimes. When you only have one or two officers for an area that would cover half the area of a major city, with the addition of all sorts of places to hide (woods, caves, ravines, etc) it makes the job of the police easier if you just off them yourself and dump the evidence. On the upside violent crime is WAY down in this area compared to the national average. :) (.08% per capita or something like that to include assault.) [/QUOTE]
