Think about this for a second....what better place to go to commit the crimes that the criminals are gonna commit than an affluent place with plenty of naive fools walking around with plenty of possessions and money...
But when it comes to middle class/upper middle class suburbs, the facts don't support that assertion. These people aren't "naive fools", they're simply grounded in reality and they're not afraid of the world around them.
And who carries around "plenty of possesions and money"? Cell phones are often secured and useless to a thief. I can't tell if someone is wearing a rolex or not unless i ask them to show it to me. And if people carry cash at all nowadays, it's usually less than 50 dollars.

In middle class/upper middle class suburbs that's not happening. We have middle class/upper middle class suburbs for precisely that reason. The threat of attack is practically nonexistent. That's why we live in these places.

In the state of Louisiana, you do not have to be "licensed or approved" to openly carry a loaded pistol. In Louisiana, to openly carry a loaded gun, you need only a pulse. No training, no nothing.

Are you kidding me? I have a cousin who was accosted in the parking lot of a mall in Mountain Brook(elite B'ham suburb) last year. Her purse along with all her jewelry (including a 3 carat wedding ring!) was taken from her and she was knocked unconscious. The police told her that the intercity-B'ham thugs were going into the elite suburbs now because that's where the money was! Go sell your theory to her!
