Before Swan's End was mine.... My neighbour to the left tells me that about four years ago the city had to come in and clean the place up because it was such a dive. My neighbour to the right tells me that when he first moved in six months ago people would come by to smoke crack on his (street access) rooftop terrace — and jump across to my terrace to smoke there as well. He got a couple of his friends to help him run them off one night and they haven't been back. Hoo boy.

Mossberg 590. Additional recommendations.

Er. I've taken some karate and kickboxing. I can scream really, really loud. And I know how to dial 911.

I'm going to rely on those things like the cute little Canadian I am.

Sincerely, best of luck with that. I understand, and I felt that way myself, for some years.

Then again, I've taken women out to a salt marsh, handed them a set of hearing protectors, a Mossberg loaded with low velocity rounds (so it didn't kick much), and tossed up a few clays. And seen, within 4 or 5 trigger pulls, a clay broken, and girl dancing resulting.

Shooting is fun, and it can be life saving. And as you learned from your flooding incident, an ounce of preparation is worth a lot on the backend...
