   A story without important details is only a story...and since obviously,   
   important details are being withheld, there's really no point in even   
   mentioning it in the first place.   
      
   > Is any of that mentioned in this case ?   Nope.  Wonder why ?   
      
   According to wikipedia, the practice of feuding continues to this day,   
   around the  world and certainly in this country. I wonder if that might   
   figure into it.

   I'd like to know what the shooting was about.

   Armed burglars always present such a danger anywhere.   
      
   > Rural areas aren't immune to crime.   
      
   No place is. The only advantage is that rural areas have less people and the   
   less people, the less trouble, that and if people keep the means of self   
   defense near by, like The Rifleman series where Lucas almost always has his   
   trusty Winchester 1892 chambered in 44-40, a very effective round for use   
   against humans, and even larger creatures at relatively close range, close   
   at hand...and in several episodes, while working on his ranch, some   
   stranger, or more than one, with less than good intentions, caused him to   
   grab it before they got too close.   
      
   Remember "In Cold Blood"? That was about some stupid people way out in the   
   'sticks' who thought that because they weren't in the city, they were   
   safe...and they paid very dearly for that mistake.   
      
   But some years later I recall a similar story, where some killers invaded a   
   rural home - only with one difference, the bad guys didn't do so well,   
   because a 14 year old boy upstairs heard the commotion, fetched 30-30 rifle,   
   and wasted both home invaders, a happy ending for a change.

   For one thing, I don't 'register' to communicate - I'm Not some corporate   
   Fascist's 'product', and besides, most humans are best avoided unless   
   getting into even more Needless trouble is the objective...so I'm very happy   
   to stick with Usenet, the way it should be!
