I have a HS classmate who retired from being a sea-going tugboat captain to a place in North Tucson. He says he tries not to ever go into Tucson proper, but when he’s forced to, he always “carries!”
I carried to the opera there a few weeks ago. The only one who died that night (to my knowledge) was Madame Butterfly (it was one of those hara=kiri deals).
I would do the same. Fortunately, I live in an area that, so far (last 10+ yrs), is still largely crime free. This in in a North Metro Atlanta area. We watch out for each other, report suspicious persons & activity, etc.
