[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I chose not to carry a deadly weapon around because I'm not a huge pansy who lives in fear.[/quote]

You’re either insanely privileged (either in size/strength/weight or wealthy enough to not live in a dangerous area) or hopelessly naive [/quote]

NP. I now live in a non-dangerous area (upper NW), but I lived east of Rock Creek Park for 15 years before moving here a few years ago and never even considered carrying a weapon. And I'm short and easy to overpower. Weirdly, I still never needed to shoot anyone in the whole time I lived there![/quote]

Thanks for advertising your if ignorance. You just explained that you lived east of RCP during its best era, roughly 2008 to 2020. I lived here then and it’s completely different know. Care to share more about any other places where you used to live and don’t know the current situation?[/quote]

Well, someone was shot to death in the alley behind my house when I lived there, and the rates of assault with a deadly weapon when I lived there were significantly higher than they are now (https://www.crimedatadc.com/ward/4/adw), so yes, you're right, everything was perfect then.[/quote]

Oh gawd, you believe those stats. Nevermind discussing anything with you.[/quote]

Believe the stats or not, there were people dealing drugs (and getting shot at) all the time near my house when I lived there, as well as plenty of robberies, and I never contemplated getting a gun. It may well be more dangerous now, but it's not like Ward 4 was some crime-free paradise until recently.[/quote]

I’m glad you weren’t a victim. The Ward  4 home three houses down from mine had an armed invasion. No idea why they picked that particular house, it could have been any on the block I assumed. [/quote]
