Citizen's Arrest

So it turns out that the part of Richmond I live in is going through some kind of crime wave. Specifically, people are being attacked almost daily while going to their mailboxes or getting their morning paper. They're beaten, forced into their homes and robbed at gunpoint. Awesome. Now, whenever I go to get the mail, I'm forced to take Angus. He's one of our dogs. He's a carin terrier and weighs all of maybe 30 pounds. Right, like he's going to be able to help me. If I'm so unfortunate as to get attacked, I'm just gonna go completely limp and then once I'm dropped, fake a seizure. Maybe that'll work. Or maybe I just won't leave the house...ever.
