I've been to many countries worse than this.

And, I'd make sure that I'm NOT in a situation where I would get my throat slit before I opened my mouth. I spent 23 years in the army, I know how to handle situations quite well, and have been in many a brawl.

As another poster said, I'm not that stupid to walk into a place armed where nobody would walk into unarmed, I'd avoid it completely.

Criminals that are good at their trade.....know how to exploit every advantage.... One doesn't always have the 6th sense of which you must possess.....

Good for you...you will never be a victum of crime....Now if only you could teach the rest of us idiots.....

Amen. Common sense is the best weapon there is. Oh, I think my 1911 is a fine weapon but it is no substitute for common sense in the first place. I think I have a good fire extinguisher, too, but I don't go around playing with matches.
