I have OCed in "bad neighborhoods" in Virginia (I find myself in odd places when women are involved). I would far prefer to be armed than unarmed, or for that matter CC (which is little better than being unarmed if your goal is to avoid conflict).
Most criminals are petty opportunists, rather than dedicated, hardcore thugs willing to take on any challenge in the name of being bad (and badass). This is no less true in "bad neighborhoods".
The only thing I do different in a "bad neighborhood" is to bring my spare mags with 100% certainty (sometimes I wear just the 1911 in "good neighborhoods").
Thus far, I've been left alone by criminals while OCing, whatever the neighborhood.
