Actually, I can answer this & it will be factual. According to Neighborhood Watch protocol, under no circumstances are the neighborhood watch people suppose to follow anyone, ever, it's a rule & they are all expected to abide by it if they are involved in the program. They aren't supposed to be armed either, that's another rule.
When I was head of security at the private lake community I live in [yea I know if that at the fox watching the hen house] if someone was acting suspicious but not actually breaking the rules I would follow them for a short time just to let them know that there were eyes on them [just like a cop does]. I also carry a gun at ALL times [and have for decades] so yes I was armed at that time.
I don't see where my rights to carry a firearm should be canceled when I step into a roll like this, where there could be a life threatening confrontation.
