Also, the 'nice area of town' most likely has the nicest goodies inside the houses.austin-tatious wrote:You need to re-think carrying in your house.

I live in a nice area of town, but we've had an increase in burglaries and people who don't live here wandering around the neighborhood. There was a guy who tried getting into a house a few days ago while the owner was home (unsuccessful, ran off and not found yet) and a couple of burglaries while people were out in their yards. These criminals are getting brazen and I just think for my and my family's sake I need to do what I can to get an advantage.
Don't think there's too many 52" Plasma TV's, high end PC's, or high-dollar jewelry in the bad areas of town...
It also has a lot more unprepared people of the 'It could never happen here, this is a nice area of town' mindset. When you live in a bad area of town, you keep your doors locked, look over your shoulder more, and probably have gates and bars on windows... nicer areas of town don't have those, as a sign of 'class', which makes them even more vulnerable.
There's a reason police need swat teams & body armor to serve warrants at houses in the 'bad areas' of town. In the good areas, they just knock and people generally open their doors without looking who it is.
