Maxine, If those kids had threatened to come back with friends and burn your barn down, and kill you and your family, what should you do? Think, well they are just kids and dont really mean it? Call the police, who will tell you we cant do anything till they set fire to your barn and try to kill you?..After all its just your word against three....Or believe the bastards and shoot? I hate living in fear (been there, done it, and dont recommend it)I dont live that way anymore BTW....
