Clever marketing. The song title sort of implies that small town communities are openly inviting and scrapping for violent confrontation from out of town thugs. So that's guaranteed to get controversy and controversy = much more clicks and listens.
Then the lyrics go opposite and sort of "warn" against trying any of that.
OK, but thinking about it I'm not a fan of making a song like this, as one who lives in a small town. Technically he's only expressing castle doctrine + Stand your ground. But it still has the sense of an open challenge to try and bring big city antics to the small towns, because "Nah Nah you can't because we're armed and we got each others' backs". That may be true, but why even suggest the possibility? Like a country song is going to dissuade troublemakers.
That's just me. I'm all for 2A and free speech, but I also get wary about the bumper sticker reactionary mentality of "f*** around and find out" when no one's asking.
