My first experience with a violent teen was when I was 58. I was walking up my street with a few bags of groceries and this girl and 2 of her friends were walking towards me. I moved to the side to let them by and one of them sped up towards me and shoulder checked me. I put my bags down walked up behind her, spun her around, cupped my hand under her chin and lifted her up in mid air. I walked her over to a lawn put her flat on the grass and held her there. I looked down at her and said, I am a 58 year old woman and no one has ever laid a hand on me my entire life till you did that. Now lil missy you are going to apologize to me or I will carry you to your school to talk to the principal. She said, I'm sorry. I told her never to do that to anyone ever again. I think I scared the shit out of her. I let her go , helped her up, told her to be on her way, grabbed my bags and walked 10 feet to my front door. Thank God for some martial arts training I received in my younger years. I stopped looking at the news on a daily basis because it seems like daily there are mass murders around the world. I am truly scared when I go outside in case something violent happens. I am so in tune with my surroundings, alwayskeeping my eyes going in all directions watching every thing and every person.

You are so right, people, especially the younger generation, have become so uncivilized. The crime and murder rate in the City near where I live, Baltimore Maryland, has gotten out of control. It has gotten so bad that I don't even like coming out of my house unless I have to. This is no way to live, so sad. JohnnyDos 1

I will NEVER go there for anything ... sports, restaurants, shopping ... nothing! I can tell you one thing: going to the medical examiner's office in Baltimore is a horrific experience. It is always packed with fresh bodies, and you can guess the type of carnage done by humans. You and I are pretty similar ... I go to Hagerstown and sometimes Frederick, but I mainly stick to the PA areas off the mountain. Awards

I've been shot (12 ga shotgun), shot at (.357 magnum), had guns and knives pulled on me, a knife thrown at me, and even have permanent physical damage and wounds from a human bite. Nightmares, high blood pressure, excessive alcohol consumption, scars ... been to too many funerals for friends and coworkers over the years. Over my career, I've worked in a small town at the beach surrounded by country, then later moved on to one of the country's largest and busiest agencies adjacent to Washington, D.C.. Thankfully, I recently retired. Alive. Without sounding like a hypocrite, I'll say that I'm very pro 2A. I've had the benefit of being able to carry a concealed firearm nationwide, even now after retirement. However, a gun is not always the correct solution to a violent encounter. Training and experience is a key factor, and it will definitely become a topic in the court process after the violent encounter and any use of deadly force. Some people are ... what's the right word? ... some people are animals. It's not based upon race, sex, age or religion. It's based upon the fact of violent animalistic traits developed, learned and/or inherent in some people. In many cases, such as serial killers, it will never change. You better believe there are serial killers walking free among us right now. Unfortunately, common violent street criminals have some similarities with serial killers. In some cases, that's where serial killers started out ... being street criminals. Always be on guard, but never paranoid. Be aware of your surroundings, your location, your abilities and your limits. If you have the opportunity to avoid a violent encounter, then avoid it. If you're FORCED (key word) to engage in a violent encounter, then do so using your training and experience, and always within the confines of the Constitution and law. Respect life, but always defend yours and others when necessary. Just my two cents. Sixgun, AbuXI, J3st3r and 2 others 2 1 1 1 Awards

It's definitely not what it used to be in the 70's and 80's ... I used to go there in my younger years to baseball games, the aquarium, train museum, the waterfront restaurants, etc. These days, Baltimore has been headline news throughout the states for several years. High murder rate, cops and politicians arrested, cops leaving the force by the dozens, the Maryland governor becoming involved in their city ... too much to type. I can suggest checking in with their local news media online (not sure if I can post links here, but I'll try below). In my professional experience, many criminals arrested for everything from homicide, rape, robbery, burglary on down to theft have a Baltimore address ... and I worked several counties away from Baltimore. Their criminal element has negatively affected the entire state of Maryland, even the rural, mountainous western counties. https://baltimore.cbslocal.com/ https://www.wbaltv.com/ https://www.heraldmailmedia.com/ https://www.fredericknewspost.com/ https://www.fox5dc.com/ RobMc 1 Awards
