I feel for you Jim. I couldn't live that way. I left Orange County Costa Mesa, in 1970 when it still was a good place to live. Went back 20 yrs later to visit old high school friends & most have moved to Capistrono. Way too many people for my likeing.

Not paranoid, no way...

To the "Crews", it seems anything that moves is fair game.

***It's all about "Situational Awareness", avoiding confrontation and being prepared if there's no way out.

We're all gaining a lot from you sharing your experiences.
Hey thank you my friend for saying that! I have told many and they tell me I am just paraniod, or it can't be that bad but it is real. Just watch the news any day you choose and there will probably be something about a gang killing. Why just yesterday in San Gabriel Ca. a truck went by and someone opened up on a young football player with a rifle killing him 1 block from the high school, in broad daylight. Besides for the fact he was supposedly tagging he was shot by a gangbanger.

You all have seen what my truck looks like, I feel REAL uneasy driving to alot of the places I have to work in. Not for the fact they will steal my truck, but what they will do to me to get it.

"avoiding confrontation and being prepared if there's no way out."

I have learned to do this at a young age and it is something to live by, literally.
This is a war zone and it is far worse than most people want to belive it is.
Tonight was the 3 year anniversary of the killing of LACO Deputy March, 4 miles from me, he was ambushed and exicuted by a notorious gangbanger (illegal) which fled to mexico.
If you got a chance to read the link in my first post you will see it is not safe in Southern California. Along the I605 fwy between El Monte and Pico Rivera it is nicknamed the "killing field" because that is where the gangs kill and dump the bodies.
Sorry to ramble on... I am done now. Jim.

Walked into Burger King last Thursday with the Springfield Ultra Compact 45 stainless hanging on the side and got some strange looks for sure.
