Re: Stabbing in Tiffin
Yeah, well, when I went to college there back in the '90's, there was plenty of that stuff going on back then. Especially around one particular apartment complex that I had a couple friends living in... It's not as quiet a town as some would believe...

Re: Stabbing in Tiffin
I carry all the time here, too. While we do have issues (more of the break in variety), this is not a typical occurrence.

Re: Stabbing in Tiffin
Agree 100%. Posted the link more to say 'you never know' vs this kinda thing happening all the time. Break ins in my rural neighborhood have been (so far) limited to cars, garages, and barns. And we have a deputy right around the corner with his cruiser parked in his driveway all the time! I have noticed some of my neighbors with home alarm signs in their yards now. I have a TV simulator and several lights on timers even if I'm only going to be gone overnight. So far it has been enough... I would like to put a few more motion lights up as well. Still hesitant to get a dog until I see what happens with the girlfriend/soon to be fiance and her dogs though. She already has 3...charben wrote:I carry all the time here, too.

Re: Stabbing in Tiffin
Tiffin may be a small, quiet town, (I was raised there), but I have learned through my travels and life experiences that no matter where you are, the need for a weapon may suddenly occur. 
And, after working 20 years for the city as a paramedic, I know that it is NOT the quiet, safe place that most folks believe.

Re: Stabbing in Tiffin
Which is a shame... Tiffin is a much different town now than the one my grandparents lived in when they were raising their kids 50 years ago...charben wrote:In reality, there IS no such place.Sneakypete wrote: I know that it is NOT the quiet, safe place that most folks believe.
At least it isn't Fostoria or Lima... I loved Fostoria when I worked/lived there. There are some great people there and it has such a rich history... just unfortunate that I could hear gunshots almost weekly East of my neighborhood (I lived in a borderline neighborhood). Fostoria has fallen much much farther and much faster than my hometown of Tiffin. Just a shame.
