ha definitely. i stopped shooting Potrero hill because of all the armed robberies of photographers there. there is danger anywhere there are other people, obviously but what can you do?

Originally posted by carpents Luckily for you, it's illegal to buy a Happy Meal there. So you may be out some photography gear, but at least you don't have a toy with your hamburger!
assume you were joking but i think they charge 10 cents extra for a toy in a happy meal in SF. not even growing pot is illegal in SF silly.

Originally posted by CreationBear I'm a big believer in concealed/open carry rights, Castle Doctrine, and "Stand Your Ground" laws (not to mention "needed killin" is a perfectly reasonable legal defense here in Tennessee) but that scenario is a great illustration of the downside of being armed if it spurs you be more confrontational. Being shot yourself, of course, is bad, but shooting somebody else is expensive. I'm sorry it's come to this in that great city of yours--it sounds as if your local politicians need to be introduced to a lamppost and short length of rope--but being armed calls for a pretty radical reconfiguration of the way you see yourself moving through the world.

nope, they wore hoods and struck during twilight. police said there arent any cams there.
