As for the app, it should stick to giving directions and allow the driver to decide whether or not he/she wants to go through certain areas or not.


The black person that pulled a gun on me was in Myrtle Beach, SC. All the white people that pulled guns on me were in the Charlotte, NC area except the one that pulled a gun in Brunswick County, NC. There is no shortage of crazy people in the high crime areas of NC.

Dannnnng. You working pizza delivery, towing cars or just like to go jogging late at night in bad areas with $50 bills hanging out of your pockets.

Oooh sorry, don't want to sell you short....maybe you are just too popular with the ladies.

I call BS.

But if what you're saying is true, then the crazy people aren't the one's who pulled the guns....its the person who makes a concious decision to frequent the "high crime areas of NC."

Like anyone driving through the hood from some other part of town is going to stop to buy anything. Most lock the doors and pray they just get through it.

Let us know where you live. Everyone should avoid that place. I have never had a gun pulled on me.

Most lock their doors. I make sure access to my concealed weapon is unobstructed.
