So, I've saved a little bit of cash up. I've been trolling through craigslist looking for deals and stuff I can try to haggle for.

The only thing that is holding me back is, I live in a bad area.
I mean there is a shooting every day, not even 2 miles down the road from my house. My fear is holding me back.

I've looked at the other sections in my states craigslist page but most of it is just bleed through from the other pages.

Is there a way to get over this fear?

I mean, I could take someone with me, but if their intent is to rob me... What can two people do against someone with a gun?
I've been robbed before. I definitely don't want to go through that again.

My drive to make money is great, but my will to live is even greater.
