A few years ago MS-13 randomly murdered a couple out for a walk in Herndon, Va. right next to a restaurant I go to weekly. They wanted people to fear the gang. They also have murdered several other people in Fairfax County over the last several years. It's a problem for sure, but more people carrying would solve it. Three years ago I lived in an apartment building that went Hispanic overnight. Most of the folks were fine,actually quite politejust really heavy drinkers that had the police in the complex constantly.Two days afterI signed a two year lease renewal (three months free rent, same monthly rate) a MS-13 member moved next door. Soon 10 people were living in that three bedroom apartment, all MS-13 tattooed imbeciles. They scared the management/ rental agentinto ignoring all complaints music, drug dealing etc. One night I heard a dog barking and looked out the window to find a police k-9 andthe Fairfax County Tactical team staging. They entered the building with M-4's and m-p5s and served a warrant on the MS-13 apartment, took two members away. A week latter they areback in business, same crap. I called the cops on those clowns 10-12 times. They suspected me and started giving me dirty looks. One night some idiot just starts kicking my door at 2am. I grabbed my Sig off the nightstand and loaded a 30 round clip into my Ar-15 as I dialed 911. The call taker actually heard me loading up (probably a slide click) and asked if I was armed. When I said yes, she asked me to lock myself in the bathroom,"if anyone is shooting lay down in the tub".The MS fool was locked out of his apartment, drunk and thought his roommates were just not letting him in. The 4 officers promptly arrested him (they were there in like 3-4 minutes) and then called and asked me to leave the weapons inside and step out. I went to the front door and answered the questions and thanked them. He noticed the Ar-15 on the coffee table and said, "someone would have had a big surprise if that deadbolt didn't hold. He sure picked the wrong door." That is when I started open carrying.Even with a great police department that has exceptional response times, in 3-4 minutes you can still be dead.Never be intimidated by these gang-punks, just carry a extra magazine.
