These cowards are never caught.
I stay indoors on holidays. This neighborhood sounds like the revolution has started as soon as the sun goes down and these gun wimps have the cover of darkness.

(16,133 posts)cities, counties and states passed laws to prevent the stupidity that open carry always entails. There were "check guns here" laws,
"check guns before entering town here" laws.
Now these assholes are so scared of everything they have to be armed to the teeth. NO Virginia, we aren't talking about carrying a pocket piece for protection, we're talking about 20 round magazines in an AK 47 for the trip to the grocery store.
