    A few years back I parked for the night at a SC rest area for the night. While I was sleeping a women driving a dually pulling a half million dollar race boat parked next to me, way too far up, completely blocking me in.
    Had to roll early so I knocked on her window. Window rolled down about 4 inches and the next thing I know I had a pistol pointed at my forehead.
    I said mam, not looking for trouble just need to go.
    Not sure how this even relates to the thread. Lol. Guess you can find trouble anywhere, and it's always good to be prepared for it.

    One week he’s big and bad, screw the world/don’t care what anyone thinks of him, and the very next week he’s afraid to go to some little nothing town in south Texas.

    So which one is it?

    Lol.. I'm just gonna take a stab at it and say it's the small town in Texas. I'm trying to be sympathetic to the plight of the human race and all, and you show me this?

    I'm a self proclaimed expert in the field of race relations, and I can tell ya the south gets a bad rap on this. LMFAO. You guys in the North East and North West idk. It's always us.
    Carry yourself professionally and with purpose and there is nowhere in this great land anyone should be scared to go.
    With the exception of Memphis.

    Same OP. It’s just that, a month ago he was big and bad, needs no respect, don’t care what you think and now he’s afraid.

    April 29th 1992 there was a riot in the streets tell me where were you ???

    Ask Reginald Denny if he had a side arm on that fateful day in 1992 if he would have been laying in the middle of a street almost dead whith his brains leaking out of his head ?

    Ask that truck driver who parked near the Oakland Coliseum if maybe he had a gun he may not have been shot and robbed ?

    2nd amendment is there for a reason my friend , I think our founding fathers were smarter then the rest.

    Haul the load, do the job.
    Never been there before, well then you know nothing about what the place is like. So you have no reason to think your going to be tarred and feathered and run out of town on the rails. Nothing has happened to you as of this point in real life. The mind is another story, clearly that has run away from reality.
