After two women were robbed and threatened at gunpoint, in separate incidents, while walking alone in West Asheville’s Carrier Park, the Asheville Police Department has noted that, based on its investigation, it is seeking “the three main suspects,” who “are described as black juveniles between the ages of 10 and 17,” Asheville television station WLOS (News 13) reported June 25.
The attacks occurred about 24 hours apart on June 18 and June 19.
“One woman had her vehicle stolen and the other was struck in the head with a gun,” News 13 noted. “The woman who was hit suffered a concussion.”
“Asheville police say the suspects tried to remove the license plate and identifying stickers from the stolen car before abandoning it... The three main suspects are described as black juveniles, with one being noticeably taller than the other two.”

I enjoy riding in this area. I have a CWP and will be carrying. Why should I bring a can of spray up against a weapon? Usually I do not chamber a round, but I might start in this area.
I don't think I recall ever seeing a police person in this area. BLM attacked the Asheville PD and they have been short of officers since 2020.
Besides the DA will probably charge you for using the wasp spray not as intended, as a weapon.
It’s amazing they actually stated the race of the perps.
I’m not. The reason is because women were attacked.
deez yutes.
Doesn’t bother me in the slightest. Buncombe County (Ashville) in 2020 went 60% Biden, 38% Trump.

Just like the ones that killed my son in law’s friend and co-worker, While he was on a walk with his newlywed wife.
And none of them Even got 20 years.

These guys are so brave they gang up on women! Couldn’t even take on a woman on 1 on 1 to make it a fair fight!
There are cameras everywhere. They probably will be identified.
Meanwhile in the main city park there is a historical monument blaming whites for lynching blacks about 100 years ago.
The following is my opinion, and my practice, and should not be construed as anything else:
I believe that carrying without a round in the chamber is not a good idea. I believe that an emergency situation, where I must bring my sidearm out to resolve a life/health threatening attack, is likely to occur under far less than ideal circumstances. Specifically, I may not have the full use of my "support hand". Consequently, I believe that I must carry my sidearm in a condition such that I can easily use it one-handed. Therefore, I always carry with a round in the chamber.
So you’ll most likely be alive when they get out. That leaves you plenty of time to plan.

My mom is in skilled nursing in Candler. The times we would go to downtown Asheville we almost always encountered crazies or people who were dicey. I stay close to businesses by my hotel when I visit and am very aware of my surroundings.
It will be close.
Now we stay away unless it is absolutely necessary to go there. It is too dangerous and I sure don't want to park my car there to get it broken into. BLM and the Progressive crazies have ruined the city.
I would never want to hurt one of the yutes who is waving a handgun. They would never target me even though I am older, because I am a man. They want an easy target.
I prefer no trouble, but I will probably CCW next time I ride there. Carrier Park has a very interesting bike trail, but I am sure the news of the recent attacks will cause it to be utilized less.
That's the suprizing news in this post.
That is always wise to be aware of your surroundings.
When seconds count. You are spot on. IMO
“described as black juveniles”
HUH??? Do my eyes deceive me? C’mon eyes, stop fooling around.
