    That's OK. I simply unload them by throwing them out of my SUV windows if I think the cops are on my tail. But that is annoying when I had planned to do a drive-by shooting later. In that case, I need to go to Shenzhen to pick up some more guns.

    Who said this? Without googling, you sneaky bastards.

    nyc pales in comparison in terms of relative safety to hong kong, i lived in manhattan for the last 30yrs and just recently moved to hong kong, in nyc you have to walk around with the mindset that anything can happen to you and i just dont get that vibe here. hope i didnt jinx myself .

    I damn near got hopped in Jamaica Queens a few years ago because I wouldn't give two guys Newports. I had something sharp and pointy on me, but I definitely wasn't looking forward to having to use it. I decided to walk away. I'm 6'1 210 and the two Latino guys were right around my size.

    I don't think I'm going to get into any fights over cigarettes here. I don't smoke anymore, but even if I did, I don't see locals threatening to whoop my ass for not giving them cigarettes. lol

    haha maybe! It wasn't even a pack though--just three loosies. I can take a lot better care of myself now than I could then though.
