It's all about how you carry yourself in public. Criminals know a victim when they see one. For instance, when a burglar is rattling door knobs, they go for a house where the door is not locked. Same thing with a car.... Criminal is casing the street and sees 'the club, or the door is locked, they move on looking for a door that is not locked. Just like gun free zones, or states where a CCW is unobtainable, criminals know its easy pickings, just like an unlocked door. Hence, here in TN when I'm out in public I feel very safe knowing others like me are keeping the bad guys guessing
