I live in a city and black youths open the door for me because I look like someone not to mess with. They’re driving out to the suburbs and picking on wimpy liberals to play “knockout”.
I’ve read plenty of articles about “not looking like a victim” and a friend of mine who is big into handguns, etc. discussed with me that someone that has a CC handgun tends to carry themself differently. When walking down the street back in the day I “imagined” that I had a concealed gun and also looked very aware of my surroundings.
It probably helped when walking from Greek Town to my hotel (about ten blocks) in Detroit about seven years ago at 1:30 in the morning.
