Then I would suggest you stay out of Da Hood, especially at
night.
First of all, I *live* in "Da Hood" (or close enough to it to hear
shots occasionally and to have the guy across the street from me shot
to death in the alley behind his house over an argument over home
repairs). I suspect that you're writing this from your safe surburban
home.
Safe WELL ARMED ( the two are directly related ) suburban
home.
Second of all, I work downtown where there is plenty of crime. I often
leave work after 11pm. Well, personally, I'm just not going to live in
fear like you apparently do,
No, I live in PREPAREDNESS for some things that may occur,
although I hope they don't. I also have 25 gallons of water in jugs,
in case there's a hurricane that knocks power out for a week ( at
least I can flush the crapper ) Silly ? Not when it happened the
last time, and I was the only person in the neighborhood who was NOT
seen walking into the woods with a roll of TP :-). I also keep spare
propane, and propane heaters and camp-lamps, just in case the power
goes out for a week in the winter. Silly ? I was sure glad to hvae
them a few years ago when it happened, and it was 17 degrees outside.
nor do I think that carrying a gun would
make me feel any safer, and yes, I've had plenty of experience with
guns of all sizes.
