Yup. The rural parts of St. Charles would not be a very secure location. I grew up in that area and there were some pretty scary guys runnin' the back roads in their rusted out Ford pickups (back in the 60s and 70s). That was just about when I started thinking that carrying a gun wasn't such a bad idea. I find it very disturbing to read of all of the accounts of police swat teams raiding houses and not having the correct address (or raiding an address given to them by some crackhead). Consider these guys showing up at your Mother's house some night all pumped up on adrenaline and loaded for full combat.
