I couldn't agree more! We live in South Florida and are desperately trying to leave, it's just getting too crowded. A few years ago, my wife and I went to the beach to watch fireworks for Independence Day, at the end of the show, there was nothing but a sea of people. They closed the bridges going over the intracoastal waterway and it was literally full of people for miles, shoulder to shoulder. At that moment I became acutely aware that if an event happened, we were dead. If not by the event itself, but by the stampede of people trying to flee. I said never again.

NOLA is never safe. Especially at 3:00 in the morning on New Year’s Eve. Your remarks and observations are spot on.

[@BoldBuccleuch]

I used to live in NOLA for 6 months out of the year, I walked all over the French Quarter, but I have a level of situational awareness from my time in the Army and the units I served in. I saw that the majority of people there are easy marks and were completely absorbed by the debauchery and fun of being in NOLA. We eventually moved back to MS, a guy was stabbed to death on the corner of where we were staying and we just saw the crime escalating rapidly. A typical night in the Quarter could easily see one of these type of attacks seven days a week.

[@SoundDoctrinePodcast]

True NOLA has been so dangerous!

[@SoundDoctrinePodcast]

​@BoldBuccleuch I know it's so sad! Went to MS also.

[@Goodgooglynooglychief]

1. No big city is safe, so what you said doesn’t need to be said. It’s already understood. 2. If you think the French Quarter is an accurate representation of the city of new Orleans, you clearly are NOT from New Orleans and don’t have a clue. 3. If you want to live in the woods to get away from all threats, be my guest. But sitting here in comment sections acting like you’re somewhat BETTER or smarter than people for not being scared and understanding reality says a lot more about you than anybody that loves or visits the city. 4. No way you think New Orleans is more dangerous now than it was when I was growing up in the 90s and early 2000s. If you believe that then you are delusional and again, clearly aren’t from the city. But this is a comment section, where everybody is an expert. I forgot.

[@kimbertels4365]

Words of wisdom from a Navy Seal. I don`t even like traveling on packed airliners anymore. The gym I frequent is sometimes crowded and there are no rear exits. Chad reinforces my instinct to be aware of possible threats to my own safety for myself and loved ones. The more people you surround yourself with, the higher the threat for terrible incidents like this. That is a fact. Great channel Chad. I have been telling friends and family to tune in to your channel. You and your crew are awesome IMO.

[@shovelheadkat945]

Good Common Sense...

[@xyvar1]

Home Gym is the way to go

[@BoldBuccleuch]

My old gym had locked front doors with key card access, but during the busy time of day, they kept a door at the back of the gym open, and a big rollup door on one end of the gym open, with an additional exit door open as well. Lots of egress available, and at night everything was locked down except to people that had a key card. That was the best situation possible IMO for a gym. I cannot be in any building with limited egress, it's just something I won't do.

I’m a 20 year retired cop and former army. I love your channel and really respect everything you share. I don’t agree to avoid life’s activities and think there are things you can do to still attend fun events and be relatively safe. Anything can happen anywhere, including getting randomly attacked in a rural area so to try to live your life to avoid ALL danger is to not live how God wants us to. You still gotta do fun things and can’t live your life from a concrete room. That being said, there are a few small things you can do which is; pay attention to your surroundings, don’t drink too much, carry gun if you know how to use it, avoid being stuck in an area like the middle of a street and always have an escape plan in the back of your mind. Yes, that might be a little bit too hypervigilant and may cause you some stress when attending an event, but I’d rather go to the event and remain vigilant, then to skip every event and die an old man never having taken any risk.
