No different than any middle/upper middle class neighborhood anywhere in this country.
 
@ET: No but no reason to be naïve about the fact that it is prevalent enough that Kingwood is drawing customers from many surrounding areas. Kingwood is developing a culture.

@CantStandTex:
 
I'm sure there are plenty of suppliers in some of the sketchy surrounding areas also.
 
These did not appear to be good customers. Probably aware of the supply or the cash. 4951

I now have the full shoulder butt-stock on this shotgun but can fire it without bringing it to my shoulder.I keep the 12 gauge pump shotgun with an 18.5 inch cylinder bore barrel next to my bed loaded with #4 buckshot
 
@Retired_Engineer: good stuff RE
 
But where do you keep firearms when you are not there ? Just don't want to come home and the intruder has my weapons waiting for me to get home ?
 
 
@princecharming:  I leave it by my bed.  I have three dogs that have access to the entire house and anyone approaching the house is greeted by loud and aggressive barking and growling.  The best alarm system there is!Added:  An alternative is to invest in a gun safe.  Store your firearms there when you are leaving the house.  Also, my practice is NOT recommended if you have young children in your home.

Just a reminder:  Defending yourself or others (either at your home or with a CHL/LTC) is NOT a license to murder.  The object of defending yourself or others is TO STOP THE THREAT.  Once there is no more threat, you have to stop shooting or you could face homicide charges.  Obviously this is not an easy thing to distinguish as it is happening.   If the threat is obvious and the threatening person happens to die from your defensive shooting, prosecutors will likely not file charges or send it to a Grand Jury.  However, if you stand over an incapacitated threat and continue to pump bullets into him/her, you could very well be chargedThis also applies to a threat that is running away from you.  In that case, there is no more threat, so chasing him/her down and shooting them makes YOU the aggressor and could result in criminal charges against you.In addition to the possibility of homicide charges, there is always the likelyhood of the dead person's family suing you.Defending your home during a home invasion is usually clear cut,  but NEVER say "I shot to kill him" to anyone.  Your stand must always be that YOU SHOT TO STOP THE THREAT. 4951

I really believe that our Police need to get serious about the problems occurring in Elm Grove/Sherwood.  They need to do more than show up after an incident and take reports.  How many more killings does it take? 4951

Surely the HOA in these neighborhoods have restrictions about illegal activities taking place in the homes there. All they would need to do is walk a drug dog around these houses and the apartments across from KHS, Elmgrove, Woodland Hills and Trailwood. I hold the owners of rent houses and apartments accountable for allowing this activity to continue. Don't lease agreements have eviction clauses for illegal activities? It's time for the HOAs to address these issues and it's time for the neighbors to speak up about this drug dealing, 4951

That's true. However, that is a legal way to address what's going on in these drug houses. If cars and people are coming and going from a house/apt at all times of day and night something is going on there that's not right. The neighbors need to hold their neighbors accountable and speak out! 4951
