Carry a gun on your mower?

Somewhere along the line things got a little off track here. The mower gun has nothing to do with humans. Person on person crime is not a major problem in these parts. Possibly because it's common knowledge that most everybody around here has a gun.

well you said it would open a bag here... and it did:laughing:
 
The problem is where I live when housing tanked banks foreclosed on a lot of my neighbors. Houses are empty or rented verrrrry cheap. Houses that sold for 250 k are selling for 90 to 120k. Crime has really boomed. When I moved here in 2005 I thought I had it made. Now I can't afford to sell my house and move.
 
thats happening alot...i have some family in Vegas that went thru that....neighborhood became a ghost town...then started filling with low life and crime......i bought my place 4 years ago and was going to put another house on it..and sell it in a year and get myself the ranch i always wanted.....then the economy started crashing....instead of making $100,000 ive lost $60,000 in value...but my area is upper middle rural.....and is pretty nice.....but damn it!.....its going to be a long road out of this hole were in.....its like im 22 again...starting from scratch:confused3:
 
I don't know how old you are but I'm 65, have retirement and some(little) investment income. I sunk all the cash I had in this house. Gave 235 k for it in 2005 it appraised for 108 K last month. Thank god I paid for it. I lost my *** buy at least I have a place to live as long as I can afford ammo. I feel like Clint Eastwood in Grand Torino.

I must admit that I really didn't see THAT coming. I can understand though. My retirement sucks too. I spite of it all, I am thankful for what I have. Many people in this world have it much worse than we do.
 
Let's get happy again!! I am blessed. At least i still have something left to loose. Life is good and answering mower questions make me think I'm still useful.
