Our club did a ride today, we were 38 strong.

That is about the only answer.

That or a firearm plus decent training -> this approach has the added benefit of helping to stop hijackings, home invasions etc.

Seriaas situation here, maybe a private security co or investigators can hunt these guys down if the money can be found somewhere.

There's a problem with outsourcing ones security - ADT and the police spring to mind. Also say this security company catches one gang, there are 100 others operating all over. The reality is that you are responsible for your own safety.

I was thinking, set someone up to ride there alone, let them be robbed, and then arrest them. We all take our guns, on the way to police station, just takena detour.

I mean citizens arrests still exist?

 

This is a great idea. Mob arrest the mob hijackers. if they pull knives- mob pepperspray them

You would be placing yourself at significant risk pepper spraying someone with a knife for example if you didn't get a direct hit or if they were on drugs and hardly affected by the pepper spray.

volunteered to be pepper sprayed this weekend at a krav magra short course. pepper spray is potent- just remember you have to shake the bottle! I sat on my arse with a hose running into my face for 10 minutes, my eyes instintively shut themselves and I pulled with both hands but it was impossible to open them. Pepper spray incapacitates properly, but it takes about 5 seconds to kick in full force

I'm thinking all of these high jackings are related.. A syndicate that decided to target specific riding areas.

 

It's to much of a coincidence that within a week/2 that all happened.

Well done for doing some training, that's more that most do! If you read my post I referred to drugs and direct hits. For example if the guys covers his eyes or turns his back to you he will not be incapacitated. It is well documented that some people, while high, are almost completely unaffected by pepperspray. Not trying to pick a fight here just trying to share my knowledge which can hopefully help riders one day.
