Gang's exist in almost every somewhat heavily populated area. and a threat, no matter how prominent, presents for every citizen in these cities. I have recently come across a threat of sorts from some gang members in my city. i do not live in a dangerous part of town, nor do i live in a super rich high and mighty part of town either. but last night, while i was out in the drive way and garage working on my truck, i noticed a car that appeared to be gang related driving around in circles in my nieghborhood. (it was a red 1980's Ford Mustang, with big oversized golden wheels, tinted windows, and tiny sidewalls for the tires. how much more obvious can you get?) I, myself, can look no more obviously opposite of a gang member. can a somewhat skinny white man wearing a camo cabela's shirt and jeans that ride above the butt be considered a gang member? no. so they seemed to want to take a closer look at me every time they passed. after about the third time they passed, i went inside, grabbed my 9mm CZ 75b and headed back out to work with my CZ just on the bench beside me incase if any deadly situation arised. the only thing that happened was that they parked a couple of houses down next to a house that is for sale and is vacant. they stayed there looking around the street and in interest to me for about an hour as i worked on my truck, pretending to not notice and just continue about my business. soon, they packed up and left. but i don't seem to know what to do if any situation does arise. i will protect myself and my family (and my dog) at all costs. but when do i know when to take any action and what to do if or when i do. i have already notified the police, gave them a description of the car and the liscense plate number. but what i want to know, is what would you do in this situation?
thanks and god bless.
