I'm 62.
I rode my bicycle around the area (1973-76) , not just the neighborhood, I rode to work at 12, for 7 miles.
I was never threatened.
My mother NEVER worried about me.
I had 2 children in '92 and '94
I wouldn't let them out of my site, my wife was worse.
Were we wrong, or were we correct?
I have trained my daughter how to shoot, how to fight with a knife, and she is currently taking Gracie Jiu Jitsu. I want her as prepared as possible for when she leaves for college.
She will be in Switzerland, which is a hell of a lot better than here, but the closest we will be is Paris where my wife has a flat, so time is the enemy.
