Well, it's not really Grandma!
My wife has a friend who lives in a neighborhood that is part of the immediate suburbs of a New England city that has seen better days. We talked with her this weekend and she's suddenly become concerned about drive-by shootings.
This friend is not about to move and her neighborhood really is pretty sound. On the other hand, there have been some recent "incidents" that have given her cause for concern.
This woman lives on a main road and her house is not very far back from the street. She is concerned about stray bullets. I don't know that her fear is well founded; but it is genuinely her fear!
My question, her question, is: are there protective measure she might take to secure her home from potential stray gunfire? She has a picture window that looks out to the main street and has become afraid of sitting in the living room.
She likes her neighborhood, has no intention of moving, but would like to have greater peace of mind. She is not a "gun person"; but she would like to find a way to "batten down the hatches"! Are there any books on the subject of "hardening" a normal house?
I thought you guys might have some ideas. Any suggestions that might be of help would certainly set her mind at ease!
Thanks for the help!
Best regards,
Kurt
Any ideas would certainly be
