This is a legit post. Used to be much closer communities until Meth and Fentanyl. Pillbilles are a problem. They made Missouri a Constitutional carry because the honest people already carried out of necessity. I used to carry on my land for varmints. Now I carry for necessity. against 2 legged varmints. Even the mailman carries. With that said, it has always been a place where your community is your strength. You help your neighbor because you know your neighbor will help you. There is a lot more gray than the black and white in this comment but if you are strong and self sufficient, it is a great place to live.

And the bugs, they'll eat your garden. It's beautiful though. Surely it also depends, maybe on the area, as far as the undesirables (people).

I lived outside of Springfield for several months years ago while working as a graphic designer for Bass Pro Shop. I was surprised one day to see a crackhead (white) prostitute way out in the boondocks hitchhiking.

If you live there, Guinea foul can eat up to 4000 ticks a day. but they sure are noisy

States should have bounties on methheads and pillheads like they used to do with rats.

It would rid the U.S. of the opioid crisis quickly
