Would you feel safe driving through Kentucky or Texas with New York State license plates on your car? – twitchy.com


There are some really confused, disturbed and ignorant people out there. I would feel much safer in any state that has a pro 2nd Amendment attitude than I would in any anti-gun, anti-self-defense states.

People living in their bubble listening to cnn and msnBS all day must be extraordinarily miserable.

Safer in the Red States, friendlier, usually less costly. Hard to overcome delusions and prejudice!

 

[Electricmo]

Wonder how many Texas plates are driving around New York? That would scare the hell out of me.

I'd feel a hell of a lot safer that way, than driving through NY with Texas plates... that's a target for fishing and search. (been there, done that)

I've only been to Texas once, driving from Dallas to Crater Of Diamonds Park in Arkansas. All the people there were polite and decent. Of course I didn't visit low life bars or drug dealing areas.

Deliverance was a fiction story. But if dem city folk are skeert of country boahs, I’m allright with that.

My Texas tags will never go anywhere that restricts what I wear, carry or haul differently from our laws. The exception is the 50 cal OK law. I can live without my 50s for short visits.

Every major city has areas where an out of state license plate screams target. Outside of those areas people are just people for the most part.

I would feel safer driving through Texas with New York plates than I would driving through New York with New York plates. To the point that I have, and still am, considering relocating to Texas but will never willingly set foot inside the boundaries of New York.

You don't even need to drive in a different state. Go through any rural town in WA and you'll feel perfectly safe. Drive into the leftist s***holes of Seattle or Tacoma and you'll literally be taking your life in your hands. That despite the fact that there are more gun owners per capita in the small towns.

I lived in the Northeast for 42 years before I could escape. Now I live in the South. In a very rural, mountainous, and conservative area of NC.

There's no comparison. It may as well be another planet. It's quiet, people are polite, just about everyone carries either concealed or open, the crime rate is virtually zero compared to the NE.

The air is fresh instead of smelling like exhaust fumes. At night it's DARK because there are no streetlights. Yet we have no problems with vandalism or theft, unlike up North.

During the night we listen to crickets, peepers and katydids rather than traffic noise and drunken bellowing neighbors.

When we see vehicles with plates from any of the Northern blue states or California, I'm always tempted to shout "Get the hell out of here!" at them.

Don't come to the South and ruin it by trying to turn it into that hellhole you left behind. If you have no intention of adapting to this way of life, then stay where you are.

At least the folks here have stopped referring to me as "That damned Yankee"

I'm at the point I won't go where I'm not welcome, in other words, anywhere my permit isn't good.

 

[glider]

People are the same everywhere, they may sound different, dress different etc but people are the same everywhere. Laws are different and that's what you need to watch. I,ve ridden a motorcycle all over Ky and never had a problem. Now you don't want to have an attitude, that wont work very well

At times circumstances won't give people the choice in where they go and how they travel. In general there are pro's and con's with every state and people.

 

[Mozark]

Apparently they feel safe in Florida…….

For my job I've traveled and worked all up and down the Eastern seaboard and Eastern half of the country. With a bit of work occasionally as far as Texas.

I prefer to be in the South. Naturally, others are allowed to their own opinions.

10 or so years ago I was delivering to Louisville. Traffic caused me to be late and the place was closed when I pulled in. I asked the 2 black women in the office if I could spend the night in their lot. They looked at each other for a while, one turned to me, a white MN guy, and said "you dont want to do that. You're a white boy". After laughing with them I thanked them for their honesty. These 2 helped me avoid trouble that no one needs.

The ONE and ONLY time I've driven through New York State, we got pulled over, for too much window tinting on our car's windows. Obviously, they were fishing for a chance to lock up a Kentuckian. You could see the dismay on the trooper's face when Iowered the window and he saw an old fat guy and his wife, headed for CT. to visit her daughter. He obviously thought he had a bootlegger hauling dope into the state (they think that about all southerners, though). I nipped any chance at a search in the bud. I was pissed and he could see that.
I gave the idiot a pretty hard time about it, too. Profiling, indeed. After proving it was our car, and our insurance was up-to-date, and our licenses were valid, he had to let us go. I absolutely refuse to ever revisit that pestilential hole again, for any reason.

I'd be more worried about getting shanghied to a shotgun wedding with a really ugly, inbred "birthing parent"!
