You know I have walked and ridden through some pretty tough neighborhoods. I went to high school in the inner city of Cleveland. And I have never carried a weapon with me and I live to tell about it. There are random acts of violence which there truly nothing you can do you usually don't get a chance to use your weapon and they can take it from you and use it against you. Your best defense is to act like you belong exactly where you are be confident and do not be afraid, and oh yeah no staring and mind your own business. Thats just my $0.02 worth
