When a place checks everyone for guns it doesn't really make me feel any safer. The fact that they have to do that to begin with is telling.
The worst thing I saw was in a casino up on NE corner of Oklahoma. Late one night a young black and young white kid bowed up on each other. Then they back off and the white kid lifts his shirt to show his gun imprint.
It was one of those methzombies fixing their cars in the parking lot sorta place.
In general I prefer older model cars because if you are in a place like this there is no reason for people to think you have money unless they saw something in the casino.
Not looking spiffy has benefits. You might not be treated as well some places. They might even follow you around but at least you're not very likely to be robbed.
In the end, people’s sense of security is determined by individual experiences, environment one lives in, and the cultural and societal framework. However, safety is not so straightforward for most people hence take varying approaches when dealing with it depending on their situations and encounters.
