Neighborhood plagued by violent home invasions …
A long time ago there was a group who passed out break open, single shot, 20 gauge shotguns and some ammo to all the single moms and vulnerable people in a neighborhood plagued by violent home invasions. They were shown how to to use them. I can’t remember how it turned out and I can’t find any references to it. Does anyone remember it?
I think something similar should be tried again.

Thanks for the research. You found a different program. I clearly remember 20 GA shotguns being handed out. What you found is just as good.
