I've used my weapon to ward of would-be robbers in the Home Depot parking lot! Twice!
Disaster doesn't always happen in unsafe areas. Why just today, two people were shot at the University of Virgina campus, arguably the safest place on the planet. By that I mean the campus has a RULE against firearms!
No, wait...
Never mind.
Boy, this is a tough, cynical crowd! You might be right but I haven't been downbeaten enough to totally accept your outlook on how things are in America.
we can't just sit it out and see what a free market will do when there isn't one. It's like watching a cat to see what a dog would do.

My guess is that is in fact what will happen. Events will pretty much play themselves out unfettered. There's not much we can do about it.
What will happen? regulations on gasoline powered cars become more and more until they are more crappy than electrics? I don't see CAFE being rolled back any time soon.
government will tax and make illegal what it doesn't like and subsidize what it does like. Do that through enough rounds and electrics will be the 'better' or only choice.

You're the one that said that we can't sit around. My point is that we can and we will.

Go back to #1. That appears to be what happened. It saved the kid from #2. So having a gun really worked out for him, eh? [and a cop, Army vet & father of 5 besides]
When I heard this on the news last night your post was the first thing I thought of. I hope this doesn't turn out that the kid was armed by a concerned parent who thought it was a god idea for their child to carry a gun on the dangerous campus.
I don't want any guns taken away-- especially the ones I own-- but there are some folks who should *not* have guns. [And with all your bravado you might be on my short list of those who should be disarmed.]

Phobias are by definition irrational.
You don't pour the gasoline on your clothes. You pump it into the car. I've been putting gas in vehicles for 30+ years and not once have I gotten a drop of gas on my clothes.
9 times out of 10 I can't even smell it on my hands, but gas stations do offer gloves and wipes at the pump these days. Of course you could always take responsibility for yourself and bring your own gloves if it's that big a deal to you.It might, but probably won't.
Hey, that's fine with me.
Try to comprehend the entire thing. We can't judge which is really the superior product under free market conditions because we don't have free market conditions. Government seems determined to make the electric 'work' the same way it makes transit 'work'. It makes driving more and more painful until transit is the path of least resistance. It will do the same with regard to electric and gasoline power if it remains determined to have electric cars.

I think you are right about this. OTOH, electric will work fine for me although it's not really a viable option for a good number of Americans. ???
What many people dislike about a free market is simply the fact that other people may make different choices than they do.
Which gives rise to socialism: Making everyone equal by cutting heads off the tall ones.
Forget about getting a DA to file harrassment charges. In every case you've described, the inspectors will probably say "it was a valid concern of the tipster."
Get something like a "danger - Radiation!" sign and attach it to a metal box that only your suspect neighbor can see. If you get a visit from the nuclear police, you pretty much know who called them.
Then, find a batch of old keys somewhere (most people I know have dozens lying around), write you pesky neighbor's address only on a key tag with the words "$75 reward if returned" and distribute them in the baddest part of town you can find. Soon, your neighbor will have visit after visit of angry people thinking they've been cheated out of their reward. They'll take care of your revenge for you.

The numerous laws, regulations, and huge sums of money spent on enforcement to control personal choices is more than enough proof of it.
Use a printer to generate the label. Wear gloves when you handle the labels and the keys

That wasn't a question. It was a declarative sentence. If you see a question mark, it's because I've been sticking emoji characters after my posts which comes out funny on some readers. Sorry about that.
At one time before I grew up some more and was even more intolerant of walking sphincters, I would make my own bumper stickers with foul words damning law enforcement or insulting to the prevalent minority in the area. These bumper stickers would be applied to the vehicle belonging to said mobile personal annoyance for entertainment purposes. Of course, a less expensive and expedient weapon is duct tape used to cover their automobile tag which earns them a possible felony stop by the local constabulary especially if an anonymous tip is called in about a mugger driving a vehicle matching the description of the car belonging to your target. ^_^
TDD
That brought a smile to my face. And the hint about the nuclear police reminded me of what Commander Rochefort did to the Japanese at AF Midway. :)
Another smile! :)
