Is why I won't put a mezuzah on the door here. I can't afford to be firebombed. The bums/shitbirds/zombies around here may be drug-addled idiots but there will be that one who knows what a mezuzah is, and I've already had one piss through the mail slot. (That happened years ago and I reported it to the landlord and the city's homeless complaint line too. Gotta keep the zombies trimmed back.) 

This incident is also why I'm thinking, if I feel I need to arm up again, of the .357 revolver/carbine combination. Perfect for urban warfare. I may end up teaching temple members how to shoot too. Wait'll they find out I'll want to train them with airguns at least to start off. The thing is, we can probably set up an airgun range in the temple or some facility. We'll have to pay to use an indoor range and I want it to be as easy as possible for people of all shapes, sizes, genders, and ages to get used to handling a gun. And there are airguns that are good simulators - the Umarex Glock I had, and the Crosman .357 revolver air pistol - this last having the fearsome "shootemupski" action. 

NPR's now reporting on Israel Independence Day / Israel 76 / Yom HaShoah which they're saying are this weekend. Except that was all last weekend. Maybe they're trying to help, we've already held our observances and any far-left/far-right/far-nutzo types who want to mount attacks, will find no big Jewish crowds to attack. Thanks NPR for stealth?
