Except in the summer when the American tourists come over. :-P

I got a little taste of it last year when I was working in New Mexico 
about 20 miles from the Texan border. It is hard to describe but it was 
like walking on eggshells. As a group we went to a county rodeo and yes, 
there were stalls where guns and rifles were being sold.
One nice thing happened. One of the company security guards wished me a 
happy holiday "back home" on the forth of July. He then asked if we 
celebrated Independence Day in England.

Gee! He was cute. ;-)

Anyway how did red-necks get their name?
