Rsquared Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 So I'm gonna be traveling to CT for some work-related stuff in the next cople of weeks. Just wondering what the current environment is to personal protection? Besides the obvious that we've all come to learn recently. Do you think that it would be the worst thing to have my USP with me for personal protection? I'm not talking about concealed carry. Just like, nightstand in then hotel type of scenario?

imschur Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Long as your legal your ok. Your biggest threat is theft. If your in a city and after dark I would carry a pepper blaster and knife. At least when it's cold most of the democratic voting population stays inside.

Rsquared Posted January 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Cool. Thanks. As I said. Not talking about concealed carry. And hey, I'm a boring guy. I plan to work about 12+ hours per day, then fall into the hotel. That's the personal protection part I was talking about.I'll be in the Stamford area.

imschur Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Stamford has it's fair share of violent crime for sure. Due to it's proximity of NYC it's an expensive place to do anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The drive.........please.....I live in the DC area.......driving SUCKS all the time. Just ask Tom.....He'll back me up. I just wish that I had more time on this trip. I'd love to go blasting in between the work. But, it's planning on being a "wham, bamm" type of road trip. A little over a week in the Stamford area. But like I said earlier. Loooooonng days.......then fall down. Get up....do it all over again. After a week........get out.But all of us East coast guys can definitely plan on gettin together sometime............and Rene.....we'll ship him in from the mid-west....just because.

planeflyer21 Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 In the Navy one of my buddies took me with him to visit his parents in Bowie, Maryland. We did the DC tour with me driving and him having forgot his glasses. :oAfter his third or fourth squinting "Turn HERE!!" on the turnpike, he said "You keep cutting people off." :hornet: I said "You're the one that said 'Other people have brakes and a steering wheel, they won't hit me.' Just following your lead." :thefinger:He replied "That's when I'M driving!" :banana:Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

392heminut Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Jon, sounds like you drive like my son Josh. That boy worried me to death driving the wife's minivan or his V-6 Mustang, and I NEVER let him drive if both of us were in the Cuda. Then..........he got a Jeep Wrangler! :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
