I will continue to be that sort of problem

I spent most of the day at the library; my internet was down so I used their's to do my work. Per my daily custom, I carried a 1911(!) I was the only non-Hispanic Caucasian in the place(!!) Of the 5+ cultures, the majority were African-American(!!!) Most were teens(!!!!) And they were reading(!!!!!)
I did help a little girl get a book off of a high shelf and didn't feel threatened one little bit.

Last week bad timing put me in the wrong place at the wrong time.
http://www.twincities.com/ci_23647697/payne-phalen-brawl-one-gun-shot-one-person?IADID=Search-www.twincities.com-www.twincities.com
I was there for the 8:30 fight. Chatted with some neighborhood teens about the police actions (we had different opinions) and the stupidity of the fight (we agreed on that).
They knew I was armed (you're packin') I wasn't a cop (we know, you don't smell like police) and they didn't care (it's all good)
Felt no threat there either.

I am pretty sure one of the ones I spoke with died an hour later

Interesting, in post #218 above it was a knife, now it's a gun. Hoyt Jul 2013 #237

Because those pesky stats keep messing up the narrative. friendly_iconoclast Jul 2013 #297
