That's what voice mail is for, that is if it is important.

Nazi's.. apparently you didn't read the Constitution or Census questions for the last 200+ years

I think there are two versions, a short one and a long one...Maybe he got the long one... Most will get the short one..

Do you think Howard Roarke would have played such babyish games, though?

The fact that you even consider the visit of a Census worker any type of threat speaks very loudly of nothing more than your own paranoia.

I got a follow up call as one of the kids is away at college, although her residence is still here.

oh sure, use facts to answer

if you come to my home as a stranger, I shall have a firearm on my person whether you like it or not.

ultimate law of each county is the sheriff, not the feds. dont believe me look it up.


also, if you show up as a census worker, I shall tell you as the last one that came to my home. get off my property as you are trespassing. called the sheriff and had him tell the census worker to get off the property or get arrested for trespassing.

neither artic nor I said we would point a weapon at the census worker, we said we would have a firearm on our persons.
