Holy crap! Co Springs is a war zone!

Colfax and Moline. Pretty much dead center of the free fire zone. I live about 6 miles east of there, and it's downright boring.

I too live (south) east of there- Tower/Mississippi ish and it is indeed boring.

I don't think I've been to Aurora. It's worse than SE COS?! I heard yall have nice movie theaters, though. Maybe the body armor is a little much for daily wear, but the long gun is a definite thing at this point, I think.

Also, how do you plan on securing your rifle when you get out?

[josh7328]

Not sure. That's something I'd have to address.

Used to work at Central & Mohave in Phoenix when I was in college... The drive-thru liquor store across the street was shutdown no less than 4 times in that year for selling drugs out of the window... The shop foreman had a "hobby" that involved lining up stray bullets and shell casings found in the parking lot and the fleet vehicles (cabs)... There was over 5 feet in a row on his desk.

Say you do install a locking container in the car, now every time you walk away from the vehicle you have to get out with the rifle & secure it. Personally I don't like attracting that much attention to myself.

http://www.springsgov.com/units/poli...r.asp?offset=0 OK, due to all the crap going on, I AM going to start wearing body armor and traveling with an amber rifle in the car as well as my CCW. I know many will think I am "crazy" or "paranoid", and maybe so, but I don't really care and if that's the type of comment you have, save it for somebody who cares. I already have a plate carrier, but I'll be trading it for a concealable vest when I get home, so I can actually wear it around. For my vehicle defense rifle, I can either put my SKS in a folding stock, or use my M4gery with m855. I want to be able to penetrate cover effectively and still stop an active shooter on the other side of that cover (think car doors/windows). Which weapon would you choose and why for this applicatin. Thanks in advance.

i think you would die of paranoia if you lived anywhere that i have . 5 point being one of the safer places (yes this also means 80's and 90's 5 points ) . oh yeah dont ever visit baltimore

That's a no shitter. I don't even drive through that shit-hole unless it's absolutely unavoidable. When I do...there's a long-gun in the car in combination with my CCW and my head is on a swivel. (I also make sure I have a friend in the car who is a shooter as well, simply because driving and shooting is a real bitch

Bwahahahahaha!!!! WTF?!?! Even the guys in the video are laughing.

Josh, you are more likely to be involved in a violent crime in rapid city, sd than you are in the springs. Stats won't help, but here's something I did when I was in college. I walked up and down the 'roughest' neighborhood that I knew of and could reasonably find (the end of bards town road in Louisville, ky) and I didn't feel any fear or worry because I knew I was prepared.

i was young and dumb then, but here's the point. I know what a troublesome area looks like, and I simply avoid those places. Keeping your mind on an amber state (aware but not alarmed) is what helps me walk around the springs. Stay alert, brother.
