You know Allen.. Where i lived in Md is having a real spate of breakins. even had a guy woken up at night with a gun to his head..Robbed him without shooting.. But you have brought up a good point. With economics as they are..more people are looking for easy marks. And i guess gun clubs are an easy place to look. I never give ANYONE a loaded gun..of any kind..and I always know where that gun is looking.. There is very little crime such as you have in your area. I thought where you lived was a bit less worrisome on crime..I know where I lived in Md was..but there is no police presense in Md and the state does not allow concealed carry..for the average guy or gal anyway. Here in Wyoming we can carry with no permit..as they call it Constitutional carry but they also have a permit system in place too..for use in other states that accept Wyoming permits. I carry very seldom..but always have a 45 auto in the car when returning home. I live at the end of a road near nowhere. Police when called will usually be 20 minutes or more...and we do have a few idiots.. What Adam said about removing the bolt(if possible) is one thing I usually do..but quite often when at the rifle range rather than the shotgun venues..I prefer to not go alone. But for most of my sighting in etc I do it on my home range. I have more than 500 yds If I choose to use that much distance...and being the lazy sort..I ride the 4 wheeler for the 200 yd plus shooting..so I carry the gun...just in case i happen to see a w...er coyote! Y'all be careful. My daughter lives on a farm also and has either a shotgun or a 9mm with her at all times. The Eastern Shore is not a safe place anymore..Even considering selling the small farm I have left there..
