Muncle We live in a "gated" community in NJ. There are 1,200 homes. The only thing the gate house and guard can do is not let door to door salesman or people with a religious cause come knocking on your door. If someone had criminal intent it would take less that second to find his or her way around a gate. It's nice to have but only keeps you safe in your own mind. Never let your guard down, (no pun intended) and answer a door unless you know who it is. Never lose the ability to stay on your toes and know your surroundings, even at the local strip malls. DON'T BE A VICTIM!!!!
