toy guns are a real good way to get shot by people with real guns. including cops.

i sometimes carry a collapsable baton when walking through a bad neighborhood or when out on a long ride, but thats illegal as all heck too.

its a pretty ghetto thing to do, but broken glass on top your wall is a sure-fire way to keep most people out. if its clean, it almost looks artistic. of course, this requires you to have a large concrete wall. and at that rate, your looking at bars on the windows and such.

Once the bars go up, you are pretty much admitting that the neighborhood is unsalvageable. but sometimes thats how it is. everything on the ground level of my neighborhood has bars and security gates, the nicer places have guards.

Me, I just have a top floor window thats better than television.
