I live in downtown, right by the Atlanta Union Mission. Its not a crime ridden area at all, but theres definetly some homeless people that have been threatening toward me. I had a bum one time try to rush me when i was walking my dog outside, i stepped back and moved out of the way, he kept walking at me and i crossed the street and yelled for him to stay back. I had a glock .40 on me the entire time, i could have drawn shot and killed his ass no problem, no witnesses.

I just dont think I carry a gun for that reason. That and a 40 year old drunk homeless guy doesnt scare me.

Now if he pulled a knife, different story.
