Well i am a college student and me and my brother bought a house last year where we go to school. A mexican gang in this town has been marking houses in my neighborhood to be robbed. The do it by spray painting a small blue dot on your back alley fence. (Basically one block in my neighborhood is 2 rows of houses back to back with an alley in between with dumpsters and stuff) Well sure enough mine about 5 other houses that share the alley way on our block are marked. Not to mention quite a few other houses throughout the area. Scary shit. But we put up beware of dog signs everywhere today (I have a 110lb pure bred german shepherd that can do some damage). But this definitely has me creeped out. Looks like i might finally get some use out of my .45 though. Thoughts?
