I live in a good neighborhood (gated community), but there has been a rash of robberies in our area. The police are aware that there are three teenage gangs behind the crimespree and are trying to apprehend them. However, I know that when I am with my 3 yr old and 11 mo old, I am a sitting duck! Whether or not I'm at home or shopping, someone can easily mug me. Although I'm scrappy, I can't run away, b/c I have my kids with me. Any suggestions on what I should do? I've thought about taking self-defense classes and even carrying a gun. I know how to shoot a .22 with good accuracy, but know that statistically I'm more likely to shoot myself! I have mace, but it usually isn't where I need it.
