Give me a break...

woman with a rifle meets two strangers on her land.
1st stranger (sheriff): "I'm a sheriff taking this guy in".
2nd stranger (bad guy/murderer): "He's lying, leave your rifle here".
woman: "OK, here's my gun".
bad guy: "thanks, I won't use it".
sheriff: "Let's go back to your cabin and get some rest while this murderer can roam freely without being tied up".
woman: "OK, I'll leave the rifle by my bed, where he can get it".
sheriff: "thanks lady, I don't have any reason to worry about him escaping, afterall I have an injured leg and no gun".

The next day.
sheriff: "Hey lady, your gun has no bullets and he's getting away".
bad guy: "Ha Ha! I took the bullets. Ha Ha"!
woman: Hey, wait! I'll walk with you for awhile if you promise to flirt with me".
bad guy: "Not only will I flirt with you, but I'll beat you around a bit and make you think I'm going to rape you".
woman: "Hopefully I won't disappoint you".
bad guy: "After I go for a walk, I'll be back, and we can discuss philosophy".

later that day.
sheriff: "It's nice of you to come back. You go ahead and flirt with the woman, while I hobble around like an idiot".
woman: Our dog Shep will watch the flock, while we go for a nice walk and talk about life, and your escape route".
bad guy: "OK, but later you should shower in the fresh air and sunlight”.
woman: “And then I’ll put on a dress, because I want you to kiss me”.
That night.
sheriff: “Are you going to stay here with the lady”?
bad guy: “Yea, right, but I do like Shep”.
The next day the woman’s father returns, and he learns she is a little hussy.
woman: "But I told the bad guy that I love him".
father: "OK, anything for my little girl".
