Don't worry about small stuff, Irish.
I was in the middle of it (the Crenshaw District in LA), and though I had a .357 and knew how to use it, I hoped I wouldn't have to. I had no phone and no car at the time, so it was VERY scary for me.
I had gone for a job interview at LAX that day, and "something" told me to forget the interview and go home. I did.
I walked in the house and turned on the TV and the rest is history.

That is guite a story!!
