I find it in my immediate interest to obtain one of those. However, I'm a college student living in a community close to campus which is about 80% students, so this is probably left to basic assumption.I like the decals that a friend of mine has pasted on each of his entry doors. It says:"BURGLER! NOTHING IN THIS HOME IS WORTH YOUR LIFE! Remember with tax dollars coming in to local governments at new lows, very few county prosecutors will even attempt to prosecute or challenge self defense claims.
...Whatever. I still want one.
And the crimes are jumping everywhere. My family has a place in Siesta Key, FL where my Nana lives, and she now has to carry mace in her car and drive around her neighborhood at least twice before pulling into her driveway because there has been such a huge issue with men following elderly women home, macing them as they get out of their cars, and taking off with their purses, jewelry, etc...
Back at my parents' house in Grosse Pointe, MI (along the border of eastside Detroit), there is constant monitoring on one stretch of road (particularly a church parking lot known to have a substantial portion of affluent members) by police because there is evidently a gang of somewhere between 30-50 men ages 20-40 that routinely mug women in the same way. It's pathetic.
