I’m sure this neighborhood park is a virgin park. I’ve been trying to figure out a safe way to get in there. It’s surrounded by homes from the 1900-1940’s. I decided to try this route and if approached I’ll tell them I work for the city and I’m doing tests to put in a FREE pool for the summer. IMG_2195.JPGIMG_2196.JPG

I also carry so I figured if I went out in the ghetto at least I would stand a chance to run hide and fight! Lol

I can relate, I was working at the Richmond county courthouse in the Bay Area when it was announced that the jury in the Rodney King trial had found the white police officers not guilty. Demographically speaking it is a not white area. So the natives started their usual destruction, rioting, So the contractor shut the job down and told us too get the hell out of there. It was exactly as you said, except I did not stop at stop lights or stop signs and lucky for them none of them got in front of me because I would have ran them over like a opossum in the road. We could not go back to that job site for a week. Fond memories!

Against The Wind, what about the Prozac hat?? :laughing7:
I used to go to some sketchy urban parks with Against the Wind. He gave me a hat that read "PROZAC" in big white lettering. His theory was it looked like it said "POLICE" from far away and if you got close we would look like a couple of crazies.... true story. Still wear my hat for good luck....

Hey BD, you used to hunt with Against the Wind.....aka (Windman)? I have some news for you. There is a reason he had a PROZAC hat in his possession to give you. Lol The Windman is a Good man and hunter. Now a Happy homeowner. He is probably right this minute attempting to clean the Pennsylvania countryside of silver. Good post by the way. Be safe out there.

Unfortunately Racism and Hate Crimes is only geared in one direction according to the news media. Both Disgusting and Maddening at the same time. The Media needs to be schooled. Racism is just that, Racism and Hate Crimes is just that, Hate Crimes. This in IMHO needs to change. I thought the Truth would set us Free?

Wasp spray works better than mace, and if I'm not mistaken LA is a stand you're ground state. All else fails, barrow a strangers phone and call the police and report a shooting there, that should buy ya a little time ��

Someone pointed out to me what it says on a can of wasp spray, something like "it is a violation of federal law to use this product in a manner for which it is not intended" in other words thats how they will get you if they want to. I wonder if this law would apply to bear spray too, probably would I imagine. Now Glocks on the other hand are indeed intended for self defense against predatory humans. Dead men tell no tales as they use to say...
 

Don't fake it,,I would recommend getting a couple of your detecting buddies and hit the park together,, safety in numbers

Yes sir, the old addage: "better judged by 12 than carried by 6" still applies today.

It was about a year ago I was KO'd at a park in a questionable neighborhood. Never saw it coming, or heard it either because I had head phones on.

ALWAYS be aware of your surroundings.

I remember your post - very scary stuff. You very easily could have been killed. Good reminder for everyone, especially whenn wearing headphones.

I remember his post as well. It got me pissed off I do remember that. Was it young thugs? Thank the Lord you’re ok.
 

I wear a MAGA hat everywhere I go as well, I also conceal carry a Taurus Judge .45/410 pistol.

Go crack of dawn early and don’t go alone, try to team up with someone who can help you, don’t rely too much on mace, I don’t know too much about your area but here you whip out a can of mace and you will be shot! Good luck!

Shot?? You are in the Republic of California where guns are outlawed. Lol
