| I don't, and I'd be extremely hesitant to explore with anyone who did. I recently heard about an explorer through the grapevine who got nailed to the wall because he was unarmed but exploring with somebody who had a concealed carry. Legally, possession of a firearm elevates the severity of almost all offenses to the felony level, even if it's something minor like trespassing. Furthermore, if one person in a group is committing an offense while armed everyone is considered to be complicit- just like if a bank robber carries a gun, the unarmed getaway driver can still be found guilty of armed robbery. And lets say you did have to use it in self defense- you'll first have to justify your presence, and if you shoot someone while trespassing somewhere you clearly didn't belong that's not hard for a competent prosecutor to turn into premeditated murder, because "he was looking for trouble your honor." I'd say leave the guns at home. If you can't explore safety without one, explore somewhere else.

| | | This thread is about techniques and experiences to help keep members safe on the street. Many times you'll be alone be it walking or driving in a car. Posted by Aran Because some people like to feel badass, and holding a gun gives them that feeling. I've explored Milwaukee, south side Chicago, and Gary unarmed and without any issues. I've found that all you need is a couple friends and some common sense to avoid issues. We're not recon special ops, and not everybody is out to get you. A lot of people look at life through a self-justifying lens where everybody is out to kill them so they need a gun for safety, when in reality it's a crutch for those who can't rely on their common sense and de-escalation skills. I firmly believe that if you can't feel safe exploring without a gun you shouldn't be exploring that place anyway.
| Ever been shot at or been taken down at gun point?* I have... willing to bet there's a few on this site that have been shot or stabbed as well. De-escalation doesn't work when the motherfucker is capping off rounds at you. *we can do clarification as needed.
| Just when I thought I was out... they pulled me back in. |
