I met a guy who was a postman who did door to door in Erie. He had stories you would not believe. He won't let his wife even drive through Erie. He says everyone in his family carries.
Even the mid sized cities are scary. The rural middle of Pa is getting squeezed from both sides. The small communities are dealing with big drug problems. It is going to get worse with all the illegals infiltrating with no jobs or money.
I would not be surprised at a sudden rise on gang activity beyond what we see today.
