Maybe the guy with twenty-five years of education has learned something along the way, and he's aware enough of his surroundings that he won't stop his fancy rental car and walk into a ghetto convenience store in the middle of the night so that he can ask directions, wearing his "easy target" white shirt and tie, while a gang of eight thugs are standing on the corner.

Unless, of course, you're the kind of guy who owns close to a hundred guns and doesn't mind using them, and after all, why shouldn't the bad part of Chicago still be part of the personal universe that you own? You are ARMED after all, damnit! That makes any space you want YOURS!

WORSHIP ME!
