Depends on the situation. It's not always necessary to be that paranoid.Don't let 'em in the house. Don't open carry in the front yard. Etc.
Yep once they learn they never forget. My dog learned how-to get out of the yard then it was a battle of wits to keep him in.Depends on the situation. It's not always necessary to be that paranoid.
My next door neighbor called me a couple of nights ago asking me to investigate the vicious dog in my backyard that was trying to break through the fence to get to her two little dogs. She knows I don't have a dog.
I grabbed the closest gun, a .45 sitting on top of the microwave, a flashlight and headed outside. After finding nothing, we talked a bit and then her brother came out of the house. The "vicious" dog walked up to him from behind a bush, gave a little sniff and loped off across the street.
I thought I recognized the dog so I knocked on the door of the neighbor on the other side of me. As we were talking, her dog named Dice walked up and she put him back in her backyard.
All problems solved. Multiple neighbors out on the street talking it over. A little small talk later, we all went back inside.
I was wearing gym shorts with no place to stash my pistol. All my neighbors were completely unfazed at spending a chunk of time with the fat old man with a .45 in his hand, mostly pointed at the ground.
I'm not afraid of my neighbors knowing I have guns. They're good neighbors that I've known a long time. We've exchanged many favors over the years.
I'm willing to rely on them if the SHTF. I know they will rely on me for some things, too.
Amusing (to me, at least) Addendum - Dice has lived in that backyard without a problem for years even though it only has a decorative, waist-high fence between the house and garage. He never figured out that he could jump over it. Well, neighbors son brought his dog over, put him in the back yard, and it immediately hurdled the fence. Dumb ol' Dice observed and learned.
I have a feeling I'm going to be bringing him back home again in the future.
HA! That's the nickname I call my wife Gladys Kravitz. My wife will say something to me like "did you know the neighbor came home at 3:00 this morning", or "I don't think the people 3 doors down ever go to the grocery store since I see the Kroger truck deliver there at least twice a week". So, yeah, I live with Gladys.Gladys (sp)
Luckily most of my neighbors have whole house water collection systems, some have cattle, chickens, goats, gardens, mini farms and solar systems. It's all pretty common around me, and my neighbors can't really see my house.This Is What Your Neighbor Might Already Know About You

Notice the shadow of her followed by another on the left?
On the other hand, if/when things go really sideways, you have a good source of intel you might not otherwise have.HA! That's the nickname I call my wife Gladys Kravitz.
