Thanks all for the great advice to the wife, as well as myslef. I feel we are pretty safe and that MrsG is more than capable of handling 98% of the situations that may arise. The Idea's and talk of a Local watch is great, I missed out on the beginnings of this as I was at work but feel in light of all that has been going on here it would be a good Idea, I do not think that the situation is severe by any means and some folks here in the neighborhood may be being a bit over dramatic but it is a concern none the less.
The crimes are mostly petty burglery, and vandalism there is a School that recently opened near by after being closed for several years, I feel that is most likely where our petty criminals are coming from, they pass through the Neighborhood to and from school and have plenty of opportunities for scoping places and vehicles out.
There have been a few good suggestions on her choice of weapons, all are appreciated but I feel that between her kimber and our H&K94 she pretty much has that covered
(plus she is rather proficient with those two weapons) Tonight I decked out her new toy with, grip, M4, handguards and Tele stock and an Acog, When funds permit I will mount light and rails to both the M4gery and the H&K94,
As feel the watch is our best option at discouraging our petty thieves and will work with our neighbors to see if we can get something going along these lines. I know a freind told us a few years ago one was organized here but quikly petered out due to lack of commitment form certain individuals. I hope that now that we have alot of younger families moving into the hood we can get it going this time,
Anyone that has any Ideas or suggestions on how we should go about organizing this would be much appreciated, Niether of us have done this before and although Im sure we could come up with some decent plans any input would benefit us greatly I am sure,
Thanks again for your advice and suggestions.
