I have noticed that “this game” does not happen in Texas. Perhaps it is because of our concealed carry laws in Texas?
Another observation, when a person is carrying, the way he or she walks and the way they look at a potential threat is perceived by the potential assailant. The bad guys understand this individual will not be a victim. They leave them alone. They target the weak.
Good citizens with weapons prevent violence. Good citizens without weapons are potential victims.
Perhaps a little ‘printing’ of the weapon is appropriate in ‘integrated’ areas.
I've read three stories this week about CC people being targeted for the "game". The hunters became the prey.
