I still tip my hat to them.
They're afraid the entire country might become 'Dodge City'.
Even though statistics clearly show that concealed-carry States have the lowest murder rates and lower crime rates overall...IMO, we're only one bloody mass-shooting away from what could become essentially a hot Civil War. Or Race War.
If the shooter had targeted a Hip-Hop/Black headliner venue, things would spiral quickly. Especially if a performer turned out to be among the deceased.

My travels take me into dangerous D.C., and Baltimore neighborhoods. And I'm virtually always there because the property is at some level in the forecloser process. (sometimes I photograph homes where they've applied for an equity line..., where believe it or not, they're happy to see me. LOL)
They look out their windows and see me taking front and angle pics...when they're 60 days or more behind? I see 'pissed off' everyday.
But most of the time, the property is already vacant and I enter using a combo lockbox. And some neighborhoods, unsavory dudes are drinking on the stoops/porches along the street.
And they see some old white guy snapping street views and adjacent to subject views...back yard and alley views.
My sphincter is tightening already.
