I think....

 

As some of you know, we are getting ready to sell our home and all the contents...basically going to sell everything we have (with the exception of a few things going to our kids)...and we are going to buy an RV and hit the road full time.

 

It's a bit scary to think I won't have an actual home to go to. And let me just say that in all the years we have lived here in TN we have never had any trouble at all. We didn't live in a big city, mostly we lived in the country with few if any neighbors.

 

However, I am tired of working and Don is restless. So the RV makes perfect sense. We can travel all over the country and even planning to visit Canada. So if the area gets rough, we just pack up and move on. I have alot of places on my "bucket list" that I want to see. Anyway...we are going to list the house next Spring, probably around March..and when it sells (I do say WHEN IT SELLS) we will purchase the RV, I can retire, and we will hit the road. Hope to visit with alot of our VR friends. Sound like fun?

That is out of the question, just retired and we are now depending on SS for our income, cant afford to move. When we moved in this neighborhood 13 years ago it was very quiet, no problems, very quiet, there were a couple of not so good neighbors, but it was that they had no pride in their surroundings, didn't keep the place up and were just plain white trash. The first incidents started happening about 3 years ago with it first murder, the first home invasion started 3 doors down soon afterwards, and then it started escalating. Now the problems have gotten violent and has this neighborhood is on alert. I would love to do what Don and Patti are doing, but Charlene wont have any part of that, I have talked that up and she shoots it down. I guess the next step is do like Eck, start a neighborhood watch program. We also have our CCW and hope and pray we don't have to use them.

 

As a lot of you know, I just moved. Other than wanting a shorter commute, we looked for an area with a low crime area, and amazingly, we found it. we love the area, we have a rental on an acre in the woods, out in the county, no crime, and a quiet place. Sadly I'm still unpacking. So Lewis, there are oasis' everywhere, it might be worth househunting again. I use an app on my phone called life360, it gives me crime stats based on my gps location, Mike can also track my phone to keep tabs on me, given my health issues it gives everyone in the house peace of mind about my day.

Been to Canada maybe 6 or 8 times in my life, and don't remember having any bad experiences there. With the similar cultures and shared borders, it's a natural ally to the US.

I do love Canada, but it's a shame that they don't trust their responsible citizens with firearms.

 

(I'd like to see the place that has a gun shop on every corner) It sounds pretty cool, but, in my travels, I've never come across it.

It is not so much that responsible gun owners are not trusted but more so that they are an easy target for spinless politicians who do not or ever have lived in the real world and tend to cater to the squeaky wheel (narrow minded bleeding hearts) for the sake of acquiring votes. They spent over 5 billion on a gun registry that accomplished nothing, should have realized it would accomplish nothing and should have spent that same money to improving ways of getting at non legal gun owners. Having said that however I do agree that a thorough back ground check should be done before allowing just anyone to own guns. Which our old FAC system already did quite well. But hey news flash nail legal gun owners and illegal ones will fall in line ....NOT.
