Hmmm Im almost thinking I would walk the dog. Changing your routine out of fear means they win. Walk the dog and carry a spare mag. Your age is step one in your self defense explanation.
"OMG officer, I was just walking the dog shes old like me and when she needs to go she needs to go. These kids attacked me. I think they were the same ones who tried to break into my house last week. Look at me its not like I can out run them..." "Do I really have to give their ears back?"
Leave a few bodies in the street and the property values may start to go up. F the Fers
