Tim - It has been a long time since that drive-by shooting that occured in my apartment complex in the early 90's in Tallahassee. Our Miami CSC brethren should have some great options

[Fr. Frank]

Just moved in this weekend!! Anyone have experience with neighborhood drug dealers? (that is getting rid of them).

That shovel in the corner just might come in handy.

Yeah. Been there, done that.
Make daily calls to your local politicians, Write weekly letters to the editor. Send daily emails to your state representatives. Get your neighbors and local churches to do the same. Post metal signs warning drivers their are entering a high crime/high drug use area. And absolutely get a concealed carry permit and carry "cocked and locked".

I lived in a high crime area in Denver in the early 90's. I enlisted the help of neighbors and churches in the letter writing and phone calls, and we pooled our funds to have the signs made. The city took the signs down at first, but two days after they did there was a carjacking, and we convinced the victim to sue the city/county of Denver for failing to warn people of the danger in the area and being complicit by taking out the warning signs we put up. The woman won her lawsuit and was awarded 3 million because the city was found to have contributed to her danger by removing the signs and failing to warn and protect the general public for a public danger they knew about by virtue of the letter writing and publicity we put on the issue.
After having to pay 3 million for that, we had plenty of visible law enforcement in the area. They didn't want to get sued again.

Oh yeah. It took almost two years, and one of my neighbors was shot (not killed) in a confrontation with some Crips who were dealing drugs out of his own carport off the alley behind his house.

I was serious about getting a permit and carrying a firearm for self-defense. Getting a permit in Massachussetts is a lengthy and difficult process unless you already have one from another state.

Remember, Police don't protect you from crime, they try to arrest the criminal after the criminal has already hurt you.

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.

Hey Tim,

Nice Shack! Let's load them up with Seafari's !

Getting a permit in Massachussetts is a lengthy and difficult process unless you already have one from another state.

Keep in mind that this is Town/City issued thru your resident Police departments, so your experience could vary.

A priest friend moved From FL to Attleboro, MA about 5 years ago. His wife already had a CCW permit from Florida, and it took her about 9-10 weeks to get hers there. He applied for his CCW, and it took him 2 1/2 years to get his permit, even though he is ex-LE, and a reserve Navy officer. About a year after he applied, he was car-jacked. After that, his application was denied because they said he might use the CCW as a means of revenge.

What I can't figure is, he already had firearms, and had registered them with the local PD. How would a CCW make it more likely he would use them for revenge? He appealed to his state assemblyman or whatever they call state legislators up there, and got his application reinstated. Still took another year to actually get his permit, though.

northeastshooters.com has all the info you could ask for on MA gun laws as well as a section that tells you the likelyhood of issue of a CCW permit and typical time frame.

Video tape them and post the vids on UTUBE, then forward to LE.

guns, shovel. Considering this together, you'll need a better shovel. That looks like a snow shovel.
