When Halloween in our area became dominated by high school age kids trick or treating, we started turning out all of the lights, turning on all of the sprinklers in the front yard and watching a movie in bed...

Don't trick or treat! I was jumped by some future Obama supporters while trick or treating over 40 years ago on a military base! Luckily all they did was spread my candy on the street as they jerked the bag from my hand.

Have a private halloween party or attend one!

No. My wife is still uncomfortable with the idea of carrying around the kids (bassackwards if you ask me), but my Father is going and he will be carrying.

I know what you mean. I used to feel that way too. However, it occurred to me that there is also a lot of good in little ones having fun, getting candy, and an event that provides a good opportunity for 'family time'. God often uses evil for Good, and I believe that this is one of those events. To shut one's self up in the house, with the lights off, deprives one of an opportunity to do good. Even if you don't believe in God, it's hard to argue that this isn't a good opportunity to love on your neighbor's kids.

As I mentioned earlier, me and my family will be out there having a wonderful time (and I'll be armed to the teeth).

agreed Whec, when we T or T with my son we get to meet the neighbors, their kids, etc, we don't get much of a chance to see folks in the neighborhood and hopefully be neighborly and meet new people living so close to us

+1

It's good to know your neighbor's and their family's. My neighbor's and I watch each others houses and pick up the papers from the driveways and hold the mail when out of town... A little added security for some neighborly chit chat and a little candy. Win win.

I am going to hand out candy in my costume, which won't allow me to carry, but I really don't feel the need to carry in my neighborhood. Will my .45 be close to the door and put away in my hutch, yes.

All guns stay at home when I go out after the kiddies are done trick or treating, b/c guns and bars are a no no.
