it's just a matter of trying to be prepared.

Don, you know I am your most ardent supporter and no. 1 fan, but with all due respect, you are 6' + tall and physically imposing, so one might make the argument that your mere APPEARANCE will REPEL criminals...

Well, I'm sure I could find you an IT job at my place Don. I work in a BIG provincial crime lab (200 employees) with an arsenal down the hallway in the middle of the red light district of Canada's biggest city and homicide capital. My home, Toronto. I dodge street urchins everyday to and from my car to my office (I park blocks away) and during breaks through the day when I go out for a coffee or lunch. I too have never needed the need to carry a handgun, not that I could if I wanted to anyway. We up here constantly just shake our heads in wonder at this everyone must have a gun mentality down south. It really is quite baffling and twisted logic.

Not really that imposing looking. Blacks want to kill me because I look SO white and the Jewish suspect that I am leftover from some Nazi breeding experiment.
