We’d better get back, ’cause it’ll be dark soon, and they mostly come at night… mostly. — Aliens

There are parts of Louisville that are perfectly fine during the day, but being there after dark is a less than optimal situation.  No feasible number of policemen, cameras, or political speeches are going to change that.  I tend to avoid those places, if I can.  If I can’t, I try to be smart about when I go, where I go, and who I go with.  And unless I am absolutely forbidden to carry in the places I visit (mostly government buildings), I always make sure that I’m armed.  Doing so won’t keep trouble away or guarantee that I’ll be able to handle anything that happens, but it’s better than harsh language and hoping for the best.
