Has railfanning ever taken you into unsafe neighborhoods?

<p>As railroaders, we have to travel through some rough spots. When I hired out I found out that most everyone carried a gun, they just don't advertise it. When I had to walk my train in bad neighborhoods I would usually pick up a stick or a pipe or whatever else I could find and keep it with me.</p><p>Knowing where you are at all times is good advice. If you find gang tags all over the buildings and bridges then it's pretty safe to say you could be in great danger. You have your more well known gangs like the crips, bloods,folk, and ms13, but the lesser knowns who are out to prove something and make a name for theirselves can be just as deadly. One on one most of these so called thugs are nothing. But when do you see them travel alone? You might take one down but you can bet the others aren't far behind.</p><p>Use good judgement when you go out railfanning. If your gut sences danger, then you should probably beat it. I excercise my right to carry a gun, not that I am telling anyone to run out and get one, but having one does make me feel a little safer. </p><p> </p><p> </p>
