We just finished a 6800 mile, 4 week road trip, coast to coast. After getting the hell out of Kali and crossing into Arizona, I politely let my wife and older daughter know that things are done a bit different in these upcoming states and that a smile and good manners would serve us all very well (which we do anyways, but that's not the point). I basically just let them know that most everyone is carrying and that unless there's some psychotic-psycho hiding in the bushes somewhere waiting to wipe out a Kali family of three, then we were 10 times safer than if we were walking around our own block at night. We never once even remotely have a problem.....anywhere, at anytime. Frickin politeness where ever we went
Point of this? I'm having trouble trying to figure out why this little punka$$ed kid in St. Pete would think it'd be a good idea to rob someone at gun point, given that Floridians are blessed with such lenient, easy, simple CCW laws? A similar analogy would be why I (as a 50 year old fugly white guy) drive into South Central at 0100 and try to steal a car?.....
