I don’t normally shoot at people who drive up.

But…I’m kinda famous for shooting a threatening guys left headlight out from my front porch. He backed up all the way outta my looooonnng drive way. And spread the story about it around the village.  
No one drives up unannounced anymore.

Sounds reasonable to me. Why only the one headlight?

I’m a city girl, but even I know to stop the car and tap the horn before walking up to the porch. Or at least shut the truck door real loud and amble up to the mud room door.
