Many parts of "East Dallas" are not nice parts of town. Many years ago I heard the term "East Dallas Special" used to describe switchblade knives. Like I said rough neighborhood.

...made a bid in Oak Cliff Friday where the lady had to unlock the back gate to let us in...cameras and deadbolts everywhere...I asked her if she wanted us to wait while she relocked the gate...she said "That's OK, I have a gun"...no matter where we live, some adapt and prepare...some don't...sorry this lady was hurt and terrorized...but it can happen anywhere today...we have to be aware and have a plan...even in gated neighborhoods, you gotta keep your head up...

"My trust in people," she said. "My trust in strangers."

Trust, but verify. Fail to verify at your own risk.

If it would have been me I would have made that Indiana Jones quote about about some dude bringing a knife to a gun fight...

^Wasn't that The Untouchables?

Yes it was Sean Connery in the "Untouchables" the line was "Dumb (epithet for an Italian) bringing a knife to a gunfight."

My motto is: "In God I trust - - - Everybody else show me your hands."

I thought he said a funny quip, but this is what I was referring too.

...yeah, that confused look was "Now what was that that Sean Connery said?"...but he got the message, anyways...
