Exactly.

My point exactly.

I used to have a printing supplier that was located in that "over the rind" area of Cincy and would go up there from time to time. I've been a lot of places and that, in my opinion, may be one of the worst. Not only would I carry a handgun, but I'd probably strap on a belt-fed machine gun and a belt of ammunition like Rambo did, just in case. That place is hell.

We have a warehouse in Memphis and at one point years ago, the zip code it sat in was the 2nd highest murder rate per capita in the US. I was there early one morning and a couple of the sales guys came in, sat down, unholstered their pistols and put them in their desk drawers. Then, they saw me, and their eyes got big...afraid that I was going to bust them for breaking the "No Firearms on Company Premises" rule.

I just laughed and said "Relax, boys...I might even be carrying one myself."
I worked for one of the General Contractors doing a lot of the renovations going on in OTR. I spent A LOT of time down there in condemned buildings and dark alleys by myself... every time we were getting ready to start a new job and had to show the investors/owners the starting conditions we would have to show up a hour early to clear out all of the buildings "inhabitants" talk about a sh**y job! I could tell stories for hours on some of the things I've seen down there... from gang beatings to rich white guys picking up ladies of the night! Our company did have a no firearms policy... as to the enforement of that rule I won't comment.
