Hopefully whoever is doing these driveway robberies get's their brains splattered on the next driveway they attempt to do this in. Maybe that will help slow this down.

Doubt it... I believe people who resort to this have (for whatever reason) an inability to accurately measure risk versus reward. With that said, an increase in self-defensive justice could just as easily cause the criminals to become more trigger-happy rather than rethink their criminal acts.

In addition to being careful and cautious, I'd advise everyone to also be wary, prudent and circumspect.

There was a robbery in the IKEA parking lot also. The woman was beat up in front of the children and they stole her purse. Be cautious this time of year!

The decision to carry is a personal one, to each their own.

Unfortunately one has little control over it, even if you carry (which I support).
There are no guarantees in life - non smokers get cancer, the person who wears their seatbelt every time they drive dies in a car crash, etc. You can only prepare for what you can prepare for...
