[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]armed robbery, strong-arm robbery by force/violence, and assault crimes are lower in Virginia than in Maryland and DC for the same reason it's also lower in most other states, including those with large urban areas - because most states allow concealed carry. Maryland and DC (until recently) do not.

Other states with large cities and diverse populations, such as Texas, Georgia and Florida have similar demographics as the DC area, but less of the type of robbery crime that is typically committed in states where people aren't allowed to carry a gun for self defense.

It's really not that big of a mystery. Criminals aren't stupid. They understand things like this. Pulling a knife or gun on someone in Georgetown will get you their wallet, cel phone, or car. Pulling a gun on someone 1/2 a mile away in Roslyn might get you killed. They know this. [/quote]

No.  Most of these guys have guns.  Your gun does not scare them.  Violent crime in Atlanta is absolutely terrible.  That's Georgia.  Miami?  No thank you.  Young black guys are going to stick out in Roslyn.  They really aren't stupid.  It is not unusual to see groups of young black guys in Georgetown.  It is unusual in Arlington.  I have a young black son that i am sure you would profile.  He hangs out in Georgetown, not Roslyn.  VA is boring.  No one's interested.[/quote]

And sadly, when there is a gas station robbery or a armed robbery of someone on the street in arlington, suspects are usually black males. [/quote]

No what’s sad is that the PP’s son is going to get profiled for having the audacity to hang out in Georgetown.  Free country - I think not.[/quote]
