Is it the quantity or quality?

The late-night and early-morning stuff is dominated by DUIs (or suspected DUIs) and DUI-related wrecks, domestic violence and parties getting out of hand. Stay sober, watch the other drivers and avoid wild parties, and you'll be fine. During the day and evening is when most of the robberies and non-domestic assaults seem to happen.

Remember, the bad guys have to sleep sometime too. The ones that are out late at night are looking for easy pickings like unlocked doors or valuables in plain sight in cars.

Wait until 3, when the bar rush has finished clearing out. Nothing makes a bad guy stand out like an empty parking lot...if you bother to look.

I've walked across Dallas at all of these "bad" times, and the worst that happened was some guy screeching up to hand me a flyer for a KKK rally. I've had a mugging attempt and countless "interviews" at "decent" hours. The last time we had vehicle burglaries at work, they happened at 3PM.

Turn on a scanner for 24 hours and really listen to it: a lot more bad stuff happens during the day than at night. Outside of the bar rush and the occasional delayed DUI from people partying after the bars close, it's pretty dead from midnight to 6AM.

But is that a theory worth testing?

He got lucky. That doesn't mean the theory that all armed robbers are a trustworthy sort and won't kill you anyway is worth testing, either.

And the guy with the gun drawn and not shooting anybody will have to react to the defender who draws and fires without hesitation.

A guy with a gun in hand ALWAYS beats the fastest draw

And that's just the month-to-date (and it's only the 6th now) of people successfully out-draw-and-shooting a drawn gun.
