I know what you mean. A older lady got raped at a shopping center near me when I lived in a capital city. The police caught the perpetrators. Now there are police cars over there now parked in the shopping centers parking lot.

I too am armed in case I'm a victim of a home invasion. They started happening around 5 years ago. I have a pistol,and a few other deterrents,and a camera survalence system. I turn that system on when I leave. It's to bad. Our society has to many criminals,and It's better to be safe,then sorry. BF
