maybe not the place to ask it. if not, delete or move.
How many actually participate in neighborhood watch programs?
When you do, do you go armed?
do your laws support a stand your ground scenario?
How deeply into the dark places will you go, how far into a confrontation will you go?
Do you carry non lethal force tools as well?
Myself, I do a watch sometimes. I do go armed, with a light and a phone. I will go down an alley. I say howdy to people. If I find a suspicious person, I will say howdy, call police, and observe if possible. I don't carry mace, my laws here will in principle support a clear case of self defense, even if I make first verbal contact with the other guy, like saying "hey, howdy, nice night. What are you doing with that crowbar?" In any case, that particular scenario would clearly fit into the principle of not poking the bear and letting licensed professionals handle the intervention.
