Leave a bunch of little tiny zip lock baggies filled with powdered bleach, comet, and other assorted things laying around. Eventualy people will be afraid to use drugs.

That'll work somewhat. The bad part is that drug users need help, and should be pitied. Dug dealers need punishment, and should be arrested. That powdered bleach-in-the-baggie idea punishes the drug users, and could cause serious harm to someone.

Besides, most druggies will taste a tiny bit before they cook/smoke/snort/boot any drugs. Long-term drug abusers can even tell you what a drug has been cut with by it's taste.

My problem is that the states idea of helping a drug addict is give them $850./month in money, $250/month in food stamps, FREE 100% medical coverage for life, on top of their daily fix of methodone or whatever else, oh yeah they get really decent ( I have seen it in Pasco) housing in a state approved apartment complex and they pay $96. month and the state picks up the rest of the tab. Then they no longer ever have to work again, just sit back and collect and get fat and lazy and scarf up whatever other pills they can find. Personaly they are wasting precious space and oxygen. As for dealers Jails are filled with repeat offenders and they are released every day as are sexual predators, rapists, etc. They need stiffer punishments, and harsher rehab programs, Start executing (or even pretend to and publicize it) repeat ofenders (the ones who cannot be rehabbed) and I believe after a very few you will have less drug dealers, once they see what can happen. But to them life in jail is almost as good as life on the streets.

i applied for my Concealed Permit here in VA and maybe 2 weeks later it was in my mailbox.

I got my CWP here in SC back in '02. 90 days (standard) and it expired ($50 renewal) while my Dad passed. Now the 8 hour course again, and hopefully easily reissued without any problems...Last time I had to dig up old records from a problem in the great old Commonwealth of Virginia...Funny story from 1986 and a three day Grateful Dead Show!!! Oh well.

Scary how much trouble you can get in without shooting two or three times a month. Everyone else having trouble locating ammo? Part II.

Note* Got that name after arriving in SC for a firefighters position one year after my little brother. One clown says, "Just like the movie sequel, this one has to be worse." Lets just say it stuck. Vezo, Part II.

Hey Shrimp.

Nice looking place! How much $ for me to rent space this winter?

MA is very much about getting rid of guns, so I'm not sure trying to arm-up will befriend you with your local pols and police. I think it's pretty easy to get shotgun paper work, and those seem to work good.

I have seen some areas around boston, etc that have really rehab'd themselves. I would suggest that you get in touch with the local developers and businesses. Not the crooked auto body place that always seems to be open after hour, but the folks who have the most skin in the game, in terms of upside. Real Estate guys, restaurants, big box stores, etc. Then call the cops every time something bad goes down, document with video if you can, safely, as others have said.

Going face to face with scum bags legitimizes them. Picking a fight with them will only make things worse, I think. You tell those types of people "no" and they will make it their mission to make you say "yes."

You could also join em too... no one has suggested that yet so I will. Why not try your hand at the game? I would suggest watching all 5 seasons of "the wire" and listening to some biggie, wu tang, 50 cent, etc to brush up on your east coast lingo, protocol, etc. Could be a very lucrative side business, enough to cover a new 300 zuki in a few weeks. Anyway, it can't be harder then swapping boat stuff on ebay,etc. Just don't get got. As Omar says "in the game, you either play or get played."

[ROBCAR]

Well said KenB....

Omar is the man...
