Someone was shooting last night
Last night off in the distance I could hear someone shooting around 10 pm. They shot for about an hour and from the shooting rhythm I would say pistol. Yesterday my nearest neighbor stopped by to ask me if I heard him shooting and I said no. He was shooting a rimfire pistol.
Most people here are either cousins or uncles or related in someway. I went to a Memorial Day service at the cemetery yesterday and was introduced to a lot of people. A neighbor has taken it upon himself to introduce me to a lot of people. The first thing they learn about me is I’m from Seattle, the second thing is I moved because I didn’t like the politics. The third thing is I like to shoot. Upon learning that everyone welcomes me. Instantly the conversation goes to hunting and it doesn’t matter who asks. It can be man , woman or child.
Moving to Wisconsin has been like moving back to America. The best part is they accept me as one of them.

Congratulations Gene. I'm glad the community you are in are so welcoming.
It's been my experience that country folk are very similar where ever you go.

Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.
