thats the only reason?

who walks down east gay? the only thing down there is the note.

[WRXD]

violence/crime in West Chester is nothing new. Most blocks east of Franklin and South of Market are not good neighborhoods. People think of WC as just a college town with a hipster restaurant and bar scene.

When I was in college at WCU a dude got shot with a CROSSBOW at 7-11 on S. High St. Watch your back wherever you go.

...180 grain .40S&W Federal HST Tactical is my carry round of choice. no matter what leaves the barrel, i think the general consensus is that the stabber (if caught mid-stabbing) would not have had a good end to his night.

to me, i think it's a little retarded to have to justify anything to the anti-gun idiots out there. carry everywhere and all the time, no matter what. criminals do not post up their stabbing/shooting schedules for everyone to check before they leave the house. crime can happen anywhere and anytime, it's not paranoia, it's just pure stupidity to NOT have the ability to protect yourself and the people you love.

(this thread will be locked shortly i bet. lol. another gun debate thread probably won't go over well haha)

I lived at 250 east gay street last year. definitely some shady areas when you get out of the very center of town, and away from the university.

I wish Jersey wasn't such a pussy state. No CC here. I envy you PA guys.

The hornady critical defense round is specifically designed to not get caught in layers of clothing just so you know.

The sort of scary thing is I sometimes will park in my dad's lot instead of the parking garage or the first national lot. And that would be about on par with the time of night I would get there had I been at work. I was talking to my dad about it and he said once he heard they were from the Spare Rib he was not surprised at all. That bar is a total **** hole and attracts nothing but low lifes.

Also, Ranger T's FTW...

Now... I read a victim was from Philadelphia, and the suspect is unknown as of now. "It's not where your from, it's where your at"
