Do you REALLY know your neighbors?

[pioneer]

Actually, I do.  After 30 years of police work in California and Oregon, in urban areas where most folks fear to tread, I learned a lot about where to live, and where not to.  After retirement, we found a gated community, for 55+ year old adults only, in a rural village 20+ miles from the metro area.  Not only is our community gated, anyone who wishes to buy into the community, must pass a background check.  I wormed my way onto the Board of Directors, as vice president, and know most of the 146 other home owners in our little co-op.  They all know me and my background, and most are also gun owners.   I sleep very soundly at night.
