Glock block: Pistol-packing Oregon neighborhood fights crime wave

This. If anyone hasn't noticed those who protect their neighborhood are no longer seen as good guys in the eyes of the law. I used to watch my neighborhood like a hawk. Now I watch my house and nothing more.

Once you have an armed, and likely under trained neighborhood watch you are seen as vigilantes looking for trouble.

...regardless of actual facts.

If they are saying it is petty crime then a gun should not have been involved, adding a gun to the mix means it is no longer a petty crime.


I some how doubt you could get away with shooting someone over them taking a statue from your porch.

Which is where training / understanding of your states Use of Deadly Force Laws come in to play. Taking a statue, get a description , plate number if possible and call the cops. Anything else, i'll not armchair quarterback their decision.
