Yes really, there's literally a dude in Kitsap county jail on a possible murder charge cuz he followed a dude who he thought was committing a crime and then shot him in the head through his car window as he was driving away.

That's literally my point. People that shoot at you end up in jail. There isn't some kind of wild west culture that encourages it.

Yes really. You don't want to accidentally get too close to some of these crazies out here they are looking for a reason to kill someone. I see it all the time where guys in trucks will attempt to get someone to road rage by tailgating and turning on their flood lights. A few people have been practically run off the road. I can only imagine what would happen if someone stopped and confronted them 😬 let alone walk on to their property

I don’t know if it’s a problem in eastern WA but in western WA I pay attention because wood poachers and some mushroom foragers will kill because of the money involved. An adult is less likely to run into animal issues, though cougars have killed people, but other people with guns are a concern.
