My priorities upon college graduation:

1) get a decent job
2) using new found cash-flow from above job...move to burbs
3) considering secure 2-car garage at above house and cashflow from said job, buy a nice sports car

No probs

Got to get them priorities straight.

 

If you can't feel comfortable in your own home, get out!!

 

When you leave the house yell things that make no sense while you try to bite your shoulder. Nobody will mess with ya then.

 

It seems to me that you and your roomies are staying put.
Put all the "neat" things in storage. Live bare bones for a year. "They" do not want what you don't have.
Get involved with the local community. The Park system, Community Center

 

It can't be said any better than that.

 

big muscles can't stop bullets

 

Yes they can. Hey Im also 6'1 145 Lbs. and I stopped one once, not really. Superman can because he got muscles.

In a serious note: I couldn't live like that, I would move out in a heart beat. If you really must stay get a very aggressive dog and a shotgun to shoot at the mofos trespassing.

 

 

Tazers are not legal everywhere. At best, a Tazer will incapacitate one person. Not good odds when you're outnumbered.
A gun is only as good as the gunman. If you decide to carry, you'll need to keep it locked and loaded and be ready (at all levels) to shoot to kill. Again, a bad propostion when you're outnumbered. The basic rule of gun use is never pull it unless you're planning to shoot and never shoot unless you're planning to kill.
When I took my training for my lisence to carry, one thing the instructors emphasized was that a bullet was lethal for as much as a mile. Once it's fired, you own all the consequences of that bullet.
If you're robbed while carrying and you don't manage to keep the weapon, you've put one more illegal gun on the street in the hands of the bad guys.
