Buck, my ranch is about 1/2 mile out of the city limits, in central Texas. I've called the police, but they're not allowed to come, even though the sheriff's dept. is usually an hour away. I do understand the legalities of it, but it's frustrating, and it just makes you realize how much you need to depend on your neighbors (I'm lucky, I've got some great neighbors.)
By the way, I love the name of your town! That's definitely up there with, like, Gun City and Cut and Shoot, and West as my favorites. I also love Bronte, but that's because they pronounce it Brawnt; Charlotte and Emily would not be happy!
