An unarmed society is a bunch of sheeple.

I'm female and armed with a Glock 9mm.

Nope.

When the Second Amendment was enacted, we were long removed from any shooting with the British. The Authors recognized that ANY government could get as King George's government got - and history, before and since, proves them correct.

The teenage daughter is a real biatch. Actually it's the neighbors below them as well, she buys multiple cars then takes up parking spaces, I think she thinks she owns the place. What a mess !

A friend of mine (with a female friend of hers) rented a two story townhouse in an upscale, low crime Seattle suburb. One night, they heard someone using something mounted on the side of the residence to aid in trying to climb to the second floor. They managed to scare off the potential intruder. The next day my friend started the ball rolling (instruction, and whatever else was required), and eventually was carrying a Glock 9mm.

You are right. We are here to talk about the car we love/like; the Yarii; and not to tell people how to take the law into their own hands.

I can tell you Heinlein's reasoning, which was proven in the American West frontier as in other places. When you have reason to believe a stranger may be armed - you do not push your advantage. Not if you're Mayor. Not if you're the gang that controls the town. Not if the guy you meet looks like Justin Bieber.

YOU WATCH YOUR STEP.

Criminals will always have arms - no matter the law. That's what criminals DO - violate laws.

The presence of LAW ABIDING ARMED PERSONS deters crime and criminals. And even sometimes dispatches a few perpetrators.

In Australia, violent crime and homicide ROSE after firearms bans. Which also mirrors American States' experience with firearms prohibitions.

He's Canadian. Many U.S. citizens can't imagine having 'Peace, Order, and Good Government' (POGG) enshrined in our constitution any more than some Canadians can imagine having our 2nd Amendment in their constitution. However, see link below from a newspaper in Canada. The author has a less than rosy view of POGG.

My first college apartment was across the street from a high school football stadium. One morning I found that the driver and passenger door locks on my car had been 'stuffed'....no room to even get the key in at all.......too bad your Yaris is nicer than their cars.

We don't shoot here in Canada, we stab, honestly, stabbing is quite the norm here. Imagine -20C being stabbed.

I wanted to add, the neighbors had a ICE Tree branch destroy there window, now one would think you would get it repaired.

Instead they bought a brand new Hyundai Sonata, I don't know if it's a lease or they signed on to one of Hyundai do-not-pay-for-85-yrs contracts. Window destroyed, don't fix it, buy a new car. There former car was a Yaris 07/08.

It sounds as though your neighbors are missing a few marbles when it comes to managing their money.

Since there are trees around where I live, there is literally a 'car fight' going on. They own (2) cars, now the snow plows can't clean up tonight because they blocked the drive way to clean the parking area with there second car, when then saw me move the car to a drive way beside where we live, instead of doing the same, they blocked the drive way, no snow plow can clean, the reason being, they want the same parking space so by blocking when this so called storm is over, they can just drive back and park. There a couple with a child, but in all honestly they are copy cats and somewhat trouble makers.

I was shocked when I saw a new car in the drive way, I couldn't believe it, they just got a new Kia roughly 2 yrs ago, now they go for a second new car because of a window. If I move my Yaris, they move their Kia, why I say 'car fight'.

Why doesn't the landlord call (or have the snow plowing people call) a tow truck? Is he or she that freaked out that the people might move out and an apartment would be vacant with no rent coming in? Or are the neighbors technically not violating the lease with their activities?

You answered your own question. We realized this a long time ago.

Our landlord had a high paying career Job and lost it due to substance abuse, now her Job his to manage this place, very poorly.

Wow. Sorry that you have to suffer because the management is so deficient. If the neighbors have any minor children in their household, I feel sorry for the children.

Way more went on with our neighbors during the holiday, there was aggression towards my mother over parking by a teenage daughter of another ethnicity and much more.
