I Should had Carried my EDC Pistol in Killeen
- Thread starter CPTKILLER
- Start date
I always went in and out the gate on the west side, but I honestly don't remember much about what was right there. It was over 20 years ago.
I will admit the apartments I was living in were pretty ghetto... but I was 19 and could just walk across the street to the beech
Is there anything out there besides the base? I remember visiting my daughter and her family when she was married to a marine stationed there in the late 90's. I don't remember much else besides the base.
Little stores and little cafe's all full of millions of those tiny alcohol bottles. Never seen so many choices. Along with paraphernalia....and meth heads.
And bad roads, unreal. We rented a brand spankin new Kia Sorento and when I turned it in a week later it was completely worn out. I wouldnt have given a thousand dollars for it.
You call it an "EDC", yet you do not carry it every day. Misnomer?
You better start carrying every day. You have no idea when a machete man shows up out of nowhere. Or when you get car jacked. Even at a nice gas station or in a nice neighborhood.
That's what EDC is for, to carry EVERY day.
Stay safe!

My posts don't count....
Are you carrying it now?....
Yeah, I don't remember much about the place other than the housing on the base, just that it was out in the middle of nowhere. I was TDY to San Diego at the time.
I didn't look to see where Killeen sits in the stats but here is what came back from a quick check of the Google.
Several surprise me. If out the driveway, I carry.
I at least carry a snake charmer when in the yard.

I currently live about 20 minutes west of Hood and work on post every day. I drive down rancier quite often but never after dark.
In fact, I don't go north of 190 after dark. Nothing good is gonna happen down there.

Thanks. No idea why it took me so long to get here.
An Aurora CO (Denver suburb) police officer who was previously AF Security Forces once briefed me and some other new arrivals to Denver to stay away from several areas at night, that roughly corresponded to the area near Fitzimmons (former army base) and Lowry (former AF base). His theory was: long ago, military were paid in cash or checks (which were promptly cashed) and they immediately walked off base/post to party on payday. The areas then filled with check cashing services, loan services, strip clubs, bars, and worse. Once we went to direct deposit, it was too late. Decades of seedy businesses had destroyed the neighborhoods around military bases for good.

My wife doesn't either, but she's accepted the idea that I need to reinforce the habit so I don't forget to carry "when I might need it"...
And of course, since it's impossible to predict when that time of need might be, I always carry.
