Chapter 411 The special law 'Non-Concession Law' asks for a monthly ticket at the end of the month
Long Zhan climbed over a large sandy slope and was about to find a place to light a fire and stay the night.
You can't see that there is a flat land below the sandy slope. It was surrounded by a fence more than one meter high, and a small two-story wooden house was built.
The windows and doors are still there and intact, and there are still some clothes drying in the yard.
These all indicate that someone lives here!
"Finally we met a living person, Sophia, let's go down quickly."
Encountering hope in despair, Long Zhan exhaled a long breath happily, greeted Sophia, who was almost exhausted, and decided to stay here tonight.
It took nearly three minutes.
The two of them walked down the right side of the sandy slope and stone cliff, and approached the two-story wooden house slowly and carefully.
When Long Zhan pushed open the fence door and walked in, a woman about 40 years old happened to push open the door of the wooden house and walked out.
Seeing the tall and burly Long Zhan approaching, he made a decisive decision and turned back to the house.
With a bang, the door was closed.
"Uh, what's going on? Do I look that scary?"
Long Zhan touched his nose in astonishment. Sophia, who had always been cold-faced, actually snickered when she saw his embarrassment, and became even more speechless.
It took a lot of effort to meet this family, and it was definitely impossible to leave like this.
No matter what, I have to stay here for one night!
Having made up his mind, Long Zhan adjusted his friendly expression in order to save his dignity in front of the little girl and walked straight towards the closed door.
But Long Zhan had just taken less than five steps when an unexpected situation suddenly occurred.
"Bang~"
The unusually harsh sound of a shotgun!
The bullet hit the ground and sent sparks flying, less than 30 centimeters away from Long Zhan's toes.
In most countries in North America, whether it is Canada, the United States, or Mexico, citizens can apply to legally possess firearms.
The main fundamental reason is that unlike a small country like Switzerland, it is not necessary to maintain a large-scale army, but it also needs a certain amount of national defense power, so the country advocates a policy of all citizens being soldiers.
All citizens are required to perform military service. After completing military service, they can take their guns home, which is equivalent to having a gun license. In the event of war, everyone will be an excellent soldier.
Citizens in North America can carry guns, and the reasons for this existence are much more complicated.
For example, under the unique private ownership of land, citizens can own large tracts of private land and have absolute control over it, and the state cannot interfere in any way.
Take Bald Eagle’s current largest “landowner”—John C. Malone—as an example. He alone owns more than 9,000 square kilometers of land.
What is the concept of owning such a large land?
Let's put it this way.
Domestic first-tier cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Zhongshan, and Shanghai, known as the fashion capital, have a total area of only 6,340 square kilometers.
By comparing it like this, you can see how big it is.
Secret super landowner!
This is also the origin of the joke on the Internet - "You don't need guns and cannons to conquer the Bald Eagle Country, just buy them all with money."
certainly.
This is just a joke, just laugh.
It's one thing to be able to buy it legally, but another thing to say whether you can buy it or not.
If you really need a lot of money, you have to spend money to buy land. And even if you really have that much money, you still have to see if others are willing to sell it to you.
Private ownership of land has a high degree of autonomy, and if others don't want to sell it to you, you won't be able to do anything.
Even the Washington government is useless!
In addition to this kind of private territory played by the rich, there is also a popular "cowboy culture" in North America that dates back to before the founding of the People's Republic of China and was once flourishing.
Whether it's the Bald Eagle or Mexico, there are a large number of cowboys who buy land and live in the wild away from the city.
The land they own is not as good as that group of rich people, but with the large number of people, each person adds up to a large area, which should not be underestimated.
Under the influence of these two unique factors.
This has resulted in many places in North America being vast, but sparsely populated because they are private lands.
In sparsely populated private lands, not only will a large number of wild beasts breed, but the gang members that capital society cannot eliminate, the conflicts between outsiders and indigenous people, the legacy of the Civil War, etc., will all threaten the lives of these land owners.
Safety.
If you want to say something, aren’t there still police officers?
The answer is that when there is real danger in these places, the police are actually of little use.
With the amount of private land owned by John C. Malone, there is certainly no police station on it, and the police cannot be anyone's private service.
That means that in a very large area of 90 kilometers x 100 kilometers, there will be no national law enforcement agencies.
Once John C. Malone was in danger, it would take at least two or three hours for the police to rush to help via the unchanging wild roads.

After such a long time, the day lily has become cold!
What to do?
The big landowners can only protect themselves and legally own a large number of firearms.
Having weapons that can protect oneself naturally requires corresponding laws.
Therefore, special laws were born——
The no-compromise method!
According to this special law, citizens do not have to choose any concessions when they have violent confrontations with others on private land, including their homes.
You can use deadly force to initiate an attack when you believe your life safety is threatened.
This is a kind of self-defense authority that advocates national policy democracy and freedom and has no bottom line for citizens. More than half of the state governments under the federal system have implemented it.
under these unique circumstances.
Whether citizens of North America like guns or not, in order to ensure their own safety, they will privately purchase legal guns and keep them at home.
With the support of the "non-compromise law", citizens can unconditionally use weapons to attack people who break into private homes or private land.
Even if he was beaten to death on the spot, he would not be held responsible at all.
In a piece of news that appeared a few years ago, a Chinese woman had a shootout with four thieves late at night and killed three of them in a very domineering manner.
In the end, not only was she not charged with any law, but she was portrayed as a positive feminist image.
If this is in China, if a thief or robber breaks into your house in the middle of the night and you are discovered, if you want to fight against the thief or robber with a knife, you must have a "superhuman" reaction of 0.1 seconds.
That is the moment when the thief stabs you fiercely and the tip of the knife touches your body.
It shows the skill of the martial arts master in the novel to seize a white blade with his bare hands. With lightning speed, he can seize the sword and counterattack and stab it back, which can be regarded as a legitimate defense.
If you are a little slow in grabbing the knife during the process, you will be stabbed and lose resistance.
You used your own knife to confront the thief and stabbed the thief to death with your own knife. That is an act of excessive self-defense with intent to murder someone.
No need to say, go to jail!
In these countries in North America, the four words "defense" do not exist in the law at all. If you enter my house without permission, you can be killed.
Take a step back and the sky will be brighter?
It doesn’t even exist!
To put it tackily, just one sentence——
I'm not your father, so why should I let you go?
Both sides are holding knives, and both sides are holding guns. In fact, the nature is the same.
It's just that different national customs and folk customs have resulted in different national laws.
Although Long Zhan hasn't drunk a lot of ink, he likes to read miscellaneous things, and he understands these characteristics of North America.
But knowing and experiencing it personally are two completely different concepts.
It is not illegal to break into Canada without permission and kill someone. This woman fired the first shot on the ground as a warning. It can be said that she has done her best to benevolent.
Long Zhan can completely understand.
He was just a little confused. He didn't show any hostility towards this Mexican woman, and there was a girl by his side. How could this middle-aged aunt be so irritable?
He had just taken two steps forward when the aunt shot him through the window.
Although it was just a warning shot and the bullet did not hit his body, this sudden new shot still shocked Long Zhan.
Sophia, who was following behind, was also frightened by the sudden gunfire.
The foot that stepped in swished back.
Perhaps it was at this time that he finally saw Sophia, who was blocked by Long Zhan, or perhaps Long Zhan opened his hand and took the initiative to express that he had no ill intentions.
The aunt did not fire the second shot, but chose to open the door halfway.
Holding a single-barreled shotgun in a fairly standard posture, he looked past Long Zhan and glanced at Sophia behind him.
Then he shouted: "Big guy, I need you to leave my house immediately, otherwise, the next shot will not be on the ground, but on your head."
The middle-aged aunt speaks Spanish, the national language of Mexico, with a strong dialect.
As a "master" who is proficient in eight languages, Long Zhan is naturally very familiar with the world's second largest language, even if it is mixed with speech, it will not affect it.
After hearing this warning from his aunt, Long Zhan's eyes turned and he had an idea.
"Sophia, if you don't want to sleep in the desert wilderness tonight, where you may be in danger of being eaten by wild beasts at any time, you'd better convince her to let us go in and rest for the night."
Sophia went to an international aristocratic school, which is equivalent to a domestic aristocratic bilingual school.
She can speak American English fluently and can communicate with Long Zhan without any barriers. As a genuine Mexican, she speaks Spanish even better.
In addition to the convenience of language, Long Zhan also played some tricks in this arrangement.
The middle-aged aunt in front of me, who is about 40 or 50 years old, is relatively wary and hostile towards strange boys, which is completely understandable.
She should already have a child at her age, and seeing the child will touch the maternal love in her heart.
Women, especially underage girls, are more approachable in communication, can speak better, and are instinctively kinder to fellow women.
And Sophia fits these two criteria perfectly.
"I know what you are planning. I can only try my best. You'd better not hope too much."
Sofia is not good at socializing due to her personality, and has no confidence in whether she can convince Mexican women. In order not to sleep in the wilderness, she can only try bravely.
