[quote user="Falls Valley RR"] <p>I didnt bring up the gunplay as I didnt think it mattered. Ive heard and seen so much gunplay (Western term... bear with me; very serious stuff..) over the years as the sight or use of these things dont even bother me anymore. Under fire or not... but it does tend to focus you on getting clear of the problem.</p><p>Here in Little Rock, people get shot often at night. There isnt so much by day so. We are a carry state and a deadly force home defense state as well. That tends to cut down on the problem.</p><p>However what I do find disturbing is minor children having access to and use of firearms up to .30 caliber in bad neighborhoods.</p><p>[/quote]</p><p>Same here in Georgia. A lot of home invaders have been killed around Atlanta lately. I used to travel through Underground Atlanta a good bit. You could see people sleeping and tons of clothes and stolen parking meters scattered about. Never like having to stop at 10th street. I have never heard of anyone in that area being jumped, but I do know trainmen that have been shot at in the cab. That glass isn't bullet proof either, it may stop a 22. but anything bigger is comming in. Trouble can be anywhere. The unsuspecting looking guy down the street in a nice area of the suburbs could be a mass murderer. You hear it on the news all the time whenever someone is killed in a nice neighborhood, ''I never thought something like this could happen here this is a nice neighborhood''. I hate it when they say that, evil lurks everywhere, not just in the ''hood''.</p>
