We lived in Myrtle Beach for 6 years and it was nothing to see someone run by the house with the police right behind them, or be in line for a red lite and have a bunch of cops suddenly appear out of nowhere and drag someone from a vehicle right next to you and throw them on down on the street and have all their guns pointing at their head. And we lived in a quite neighborhood! We had a gun, but the only way I would be able to use it would be to throw it at someone.

I hate guns and am afraid of them. I did want to learn how to shoot ours, it was a big bad ugly one, but never got around to it. There were always murders going on in that town. The drugs were so bad that my dtr's school had daily drug searchs and alot of lockdowns. 2 yrs ago they had a major lock down - locked kids in the rooms - no lunch, no potty breaks, and they hauled a big chunk of the senior class, 2 cafeteria workers, a custodian and the assistant principal out in handcuffs for dealing drugs. You could get anything in the stairwells of the school you wanted. The ass't principal was back at his job last year. That's how bad it is to get people to work at that school system.
