    I know you're on the west side. I'm back in Venice. If you or any other Quoobs want to go shoot at LAX gun range, I'm down! When i target practice I'm more likely to go to an archery range (my weapon of choice for sport shooting) so its been a while.

    My favorite target is the hostage situation.

    I've noticed since I've been back Venice has become more sketchy for sure. Someone tried getting into a female friend's apt on Rose a couple weeks ago! A homeless man was knocking and begging to be let in. If she would have cracked the door to check it out, I'm sure he would have pushed himself in. I highly suggest you get a security system installed and arm it at night so your door or windows set it off. When I'm no longer subletting I will absolutely doing the same. My bf travels often and I spend weeks at a time alone at home as well. I understand how you feel.

    If you shoot already, I'd say go for it and buy one. But practically speaking, if you keep everything under lock and key and well hidden, in a quick pinch your weapon will likely be inaccessible for home protection. If you have weapons in the house, having an alarm system will protect it from ever being unknowingly stolen if you are robbed while your away. Ive been interested in taking a self defense class but I haven't gotten around to it. I'm easily physically overpowered but there's things I can do about that and so can you. I'm pro gun ownership if permitted and within reason. Cali doesn't require permits unless you wish to conceal carry or buy assault weapons (i think should change). But you really should consider security and self defense too. Both things are relatively cheap. A mace keychain would be good when walking from your car.

    Also if you're ever in trouble, scream FIRE not HELP. People come running or will open a for to help with fires but often won't come if they think they're going to get hurt, too.
