Reply To: Protection from Crime in Dangerous Communities

as the house liberal, I don’t think anyone outside of law enforcement or active duty military in the US should have a gun.
Get a good alarm system with panic buttons, secure your doors and windows. We have 4 dogs, they bark like crazy when an unknown steps on the grass.
Our home is surrounded by motion detector spotlights (off on Shabbos and Yuntif).
We have a neighborhood watch.
The CTL compound is fully fenced and gated…necessary for carrying between the houses on Shabbos.
We don’t live in the city or a high crime area. We wouldn’t want to.
