RR,
There is nothing wrong with being "prepared" to what ever degree (lawfully) you feel it is necessary.
Your "stint in DC/MD" comment caused me to think back about 25 years. I was living in Austin, TX. at the time and had just started dating a young lady who had moved there from the DC area.
We both lived in the same apartment complex. Sometimes instead of taking my vehicle.. she would insist that we go in hers. On three different occasions (her car...with her as driver), I noticed she took a different route to return home.
Finally, I asked her about this. She was using a "tactic" that she used in DC to keep others from easily learning where she lived. I assured her that (at that time in Austin) it wasn't necessary...but if it made her feel better, then continue to do so.
I would never make that same statement these days, and particularly to a female...as they seem to be more vunerable...and more often slated for attack.
Continue to employ what ever measures make you comfortable. And Thank You for your post.
