Don't even let them know you own a firearm.
Avoid ANY confrontation at all costs while Armed-Up.
Evidence of their activities toward you/against you is your friend.
Get a DVR with infrared cameras, aim one toward your mail box, and another toward your backyard.
In my case, I'm a homeowner and the property next door was rented to four 20-something white males who apparently decided this must be the set of the movie Animal House.
Their drunken parties 'bout every other weekend usually last until 3 or 4 AM.
Plan 1.....
FAIL
Got tired of going over there every time to ask them to turn it down only to have the music cranked back up 10 minutes later.
Plan 2.....
FAIL
Local Fuzz can no longer enforce a "noise curfew" ordinance as the county board passed a db level threshold to define "Disturbing the Peace."
Only problem is they DON'T issue the patrol officers db meters so they are not allowed to cite anyone.
Dingbats next door figured this one out pretty quick.
Plan 3(always have another one in reserve..........
)
Started calling their landlord every time the party got out of hand, or ran outside past 11:00.
(figured if I couldn't sleep,....neither would he)
To make a loooong story short........their move out date is June 30.
Don't give up, just come up with a better PLAN.
