Here they are n’ere do wells who avoid police by riding through construction zones and along the power line right of ways.

As many of you know I'm new around here in NC. I don't get out much and when I do I don't get too far away from Matthews, Waxhaw, Weddington, South Charlotte, Ballantyne area. Honestly, scuzziest spot I've seen is the mall near Pineville. Makes me wonder if I landed in a fishbowl because I just don't see crimey areas.

Just ride over to Sugar Creek and I 85, N Graham between 277 & I 85 and the N Tryon St corridor.

I occasionally get on MLK Blvd. in High Point on my way to a small private range.

I’m always driving my wife’s Explorer with the back seats folded down with my M107 parked back there on it’s bipod because it’s too dang big to fit in my Jeep.😂

Keeping it company back there is my .50 Beo, my shotgun, sometimes my 6.5 Grendel AR, and my .357 Coonan up front with me.

What modifications did you make to her suspension?!?

As a general rule of thumb I try not to go any further east than mile marker 105 on I-40 LOL.

Other places I avoid:
Gastonia
Myrtle Beach
Gastonia
Wal-Mart
The local Dollar General after 6pm on weekends
Gastonia
Asheville
Shelby

In Chatham County it would be the courthouse/s, anything to do with planning or zoning, permitting and taxes.

They're all run by the same gang and although the gang is composed of pretty inept players the organization as a whole can be fairly ruthless.

Chatham County’s real problem is their County Commissioner’s are all “at large” positions. It seems the NE corner of the county (Chapel Hill idiots that move out to “the country”) controls the voting because they’ve taken over Pittsboro and few other “development” areas (homes start in the $500k range) and out number the rural good folks. They elect leadership that represents them and not the original Chatham type people.

And this is the same for Orange County. The county commissioners really represent southern OC, not the north-of-40 population.

actually...
The ones i was talking about are the urban kids who were also responsible for scouting the gun shops in town just before the riots happened, per the staff at my LGS.
BUT
Out my way, there are a few black families and those kids ride their quads up to the gas station on the same roads everybody else uses for cars/trucks/farm vehicles. Polite as can be - cars coming, they'll slow down and pull off to the shoulder so we can all get there safely.

skin color is nothing but skin color. some people are just raised wrong and some are raised right.

FML. Try going to an "alternative school" (nice talk for what used to be called reform schools) in Gaston Co. I got to use safety pencils!

I did a bunch of growing up in Gastonia and Bessemer City. Kind of like Florida Man contained to one county.
 
Avoid Elizaebeth City. It has turned into a .. Well you get my drift. Have lived in the area a long time and the last five years or so, it has gone down the drain. Once you think it can not get worse it does.

Charlotte for years and years has been a place where it’s been easier to tell you where the bad areas are vs the nice areas. There are so many nice areas. However the bad areas have been expanding of late particularly just west & north of the city.

Our drop yard is on N Caldwell. It’s not so great either. But they give our big red trucks a wide berth most days. Lots of sketchy foot traffic some nights.

Same type neighbor since its across Hwy16. More local drug activity after the last police chief appointment. Officers are dropping like flies since his diversity hiring. Defections to other county agencies. He’s a kinder, gentler soul but was hired while having a large lawsuit against him pending from the Sgt. George incident at Hickory PD. George went to prison and was sued also.

Add Family Dollar at night. I doubt there's one in the Carolinas that hasn't been robbed.

They are for sale off of Marine Blvd in Jacksonville, NC.

They're pricey though, and have a BIG owner's manual!
