A show of force

Last night there was an armed robbery just up the street from my home. Within minutes the neighborhood watch was alerted and on the hunt for the bad guys. By the time I had to go to work two of the five were caught. One possibly by myself and my friend. Message to the thugs and ner-do-wells out there? Don't F#$@ with my neighborhood and especially don't F#$@ with me and my friends! It's a good way to get lead poisoning.

It's a fairly safe statement to say better than 60% of my neighbors are armed, trained, ex-military, ready, willing and able to let the air out of the baloon of any genetic backfire that is stupid enough to think we'd make a good target.

Like the sign on my garage states: "If you can read this you're in range!"
