Usually if people know you are packing they aren't going to confront you. Which by establishing that knowledge is risky but the bottom line is no one truly wants to shoot or be shot. But these things happen all the time and the pressure from the media(rap music,movies, etc) certainly will skew vulnerable people in a city who has over 2,300 homeless students(imagine the kids who already dropped out or never even went to school). Education goes down, bad ideas on how to survive get main lined into arteries of our poor cities.
I'll admit pulling a gun at the wrong time can be the end of your life, but at the same time you have to know that if your pulling a gun your shooting not bluffing. Unless you know the person who pulled the first heat is bluffing...best said by one of my old dudes "you know, niggas out here get rushed and just don't think, they just act. Next thing you know nigga got dropped and other dood sitting there head in his hands a couple blocks away like 'what the fuck did i just do'. All over tryin to eat five mo dollas off his work so his kids got somethin' to eat."
I used to be a gun toting moron, but it's just cuz everyone else was too.And FYI when I used to flip shit in that enviornment I was in those situations and I might as well have wet my pants everytime and cried to my mom. Though that's acceptable because YOU HAVE A HIGH CHANCE OF DIEING, dumbass. But I made it out so I don't have any weapons anymore, but I will if I ever go back to where I used to stay.
