Last night the Gasport Community Watch Group had their first meeting and WLVL news had a positive report on the meeting. If they post the news podcast today I put the link here later.
Even with this positive development there were TWO MORE break-ins in Gasport yesterday...one on Checkered Tavern, the other on Humphrey.
I strongly suggest people do two things...alarm your home and arm yourself.
I alarm my home. The alarm system came with the house when I bought it, so I can't estimate a set-up charge, but I can tell you I pay less than $200 a year for monitoring. That's a worthwhile investment for peace of mind. If you think this makes sense, check out ADT Alarms at http://www.adt.com/ or Sentinel Security in Buffalo: http://www.sentinelsecurity.cc/home/
I also pack heat and am not afraid to use it. I am a firm believer in exerting force against any criminals dumb enough to assault my family or screw with my property. I think others should practice their Second Amendment rights as well. It can take up to 8 months to get a pistol permit processed in Niagara County, so if you're gonna do it...do it now!
Information on the process can be found here:
