I'm not THAT warm and fuzzy, and I'm not defenseless. But.......
My house is kind of the neighborhood kid's center and is unlocked most of the time. I do work at home, and have a good neighborhood network who watch out for each other. No guns neccessary.
We've never been robbed, but probably cockroached once in awhile.
I would protect my family and friends with my life, but don't need a gun to do it. I truely believe that we people of Puna are more endangered by geezers with firearms than burglers. There are far more cases of gun deaths by accident or by family members than by self defense.
So HPP is under attack. I hope you guys figure out how to deal with it. There are ways to do it without facing a twenty year prison term for shooting some kid trying to take your lawn mower. (Better tried by twelve, than an untidy lawn)
