This is BAD...

[GOTOGUY]

Leave apt. complex (these are nice, gated apts.). Notice police are in the parking lot. Go to Barnes and Noble on May and Memorial. I live just north. Come back and see Crime Unit. Ask one of the officers. Robbery. Go to my apt. and talk to the couple who live above me and one over, stairway runs right by me. They were abducted from their car in the middle of the afternoon, led inside at GUNPOINT (random, they saw her Coach bag), knocked him in the head and duct-taped the girl, robbed them. The thing is this, too: I NEVER have my radio playing all day in my apt., but I did today, so I didn't hear a thing. Otherwise, I might have stepped out when all the yelling was going on (without my gun). I may have stepped out with my gun and panicked. WOW. This hits close to home. I will be strapped ALL the time now, even when I shower. Just kidding, but the rest of the time I will have it with me (and usually do).

My family gives me a hard time about carrying my little S&W 36 in my pocket all the time. I figure the bad guys aren't going to schedule their activities, so I've got to have that option available to me as much as law permits.

You mean you don't pack in the shower. Maybe i'm the only
One that does that!!

Just a reminder that occasionally, bad things happen to good people in nice places...

That is a shame I used to live just north as well in Stoneleigh - that is absolutely nuts I am truly surprised.

Back before GC ... way way way before GC I lived in an apartment on 16th Street between Rockwell and MacArthur with a couple of girlfriends. One Sunday morning the cops are knocking on our door at 7 am. The lady in the apartment next to us (common wall between the bathroom, kitchen and dining room) was murdered. We didn't hear a thing. Took us quite a while to convince the cops of that. They said that based on what they found in the apartment she put up quite a fight. Honestly, I don't know how we didn't hear a thing.

No such thing as being too careful.

I try to have my 340 close to me as much as possible.
