Joe Sampson is a farmer and family friend to the Courtney family. He served in Vietnam, where he lost his leg, and was given an honorable discharge and decided to retire to a mountain community near Tucson, and still regularly practised shooting. When the Visitors came to the community, Sheriff Roland sold out Joe and the other defenders by confiscating all the weapons in the local area and collecting forced taxes from the locals. Joe was the only rancher to attend a meeting for a possible counterattack held by Kathy Courtney, now a widow following her husband's death at the hands of the Visitors. Joe was inspired by Resistance leader Mike Donovan and joined the new Resistance group and assisted in driving off a Visitor attack squad led by Lieutenant James and arrested Roland and his men for collaboration. He is currently working with Kathy and the other ranchers to prepare for the Visitor's eventual return to the region.
