Lovelace, you're not being alarmist. Or at least, not any more than I am.

I have said nothing so far to him and don't plan to until it's closer to the serving time. (however, I have not actually spoken with lawyer yet - that will happen next week, so my plans might change).

I live in a very small town (Harley, in Missouri) and it's definitely the good ole boys network around here. I know he knows the cops and sheriffs, but I don't think that would stop them from enforcing the law - especially given today's climate.

If I have to leave town, I will. I have friends he doesn't know and could easily stay with them. The place I work has armed guards, so that helps too.

I have no intention of getting shot and will do everything in my power to stay safe. Thanks again for the helpful tips. I'll report back when I talk to lawyer.

Guess H should Beware the Ides of March indeed
