There is something better than locking doors and staying inside.
Create neighborhoods with only one way in and out. Post signs at the entrance advising any who enter that the neighbors are armed and ready to take care of business. Then make very dramatic examples of the first two lawbreakers who try anything.
“Create neighborhoods with only one way in and out. Post signs at the entrance...”
That part my townhouses have, only one way in and out. Signs are at the entrance saying no salesmen are admitted, etc.. We can always add, “You’re dead if you enter and don’t live here”
I like this idea.
