Greensboro Theme Song ‘Danger Zone’
Dear Editor,
We caught a few OK bass tonight at Buffalo Lake, but a very disturbing adventure. I met a friend (18 years with the Guilford County Sheriff’s Department) at 6 p.m. As I pulled up, a car pulled into the adjacent unoccupied Hams property with two occupants. A young Hispanic got out and walked on to the posted property. My friend immediately approached him, and the individual advised he had lost a bracelet on the property and was looking for it. At that time my friend thinks the individual noticed his T-shirt, which appeared to have a law enforcement shield on it. The individual immediately left saying something smart. My friend had seen these two ride by earlier very slowly and truly believes they were there to rob us.
It would have been a short fight as my friend had three concealed pistols on him. I will no longer venture out in Greensboro without my weapon. All I can think of is Kenny Loggins song “Danger Zone”! It has my vote for the new theme song for Greensboro, N.C.

You are so right Jim…I just got my CC Permit and I plan to carry everywhere I go. BTW, took 6 months to get my permit…. Guilford County doesn’t want any law abiding citizen to have a weapon… only the thugs.
My cc renewal took one year to complete. I received a email in Feb that stated that I was approved and would receive my permit in the mail in 2-3 weeks. Guess what it isn’t here yet. We need change in our Sheriff in Guilford County!
Yep….get your CCP.
Jim, living in his little danger zone fantasy land. lmao
Glad the two of you made it out okay, could have been dangerous…
He didn’t even mention the little bunny rabbit that looked at him sideways. Could have been crazy! Good thing they had they side arms.
What a joke.
This has got to be the most ridiculous letter I have in such a long time.
Maybe the guy actually lost a bracelet but he didn’t want any trouble from you and the police officer. Maybe he thought you were going to rob him. You don’t know his journey, don’t assume that every Hispanic male is out to rob, rape or murder you.
I am glad you weren’t the one with the guns or he’d probably be dead.
I see a lot of suspicious looking characters cruising around Greensboro during daytime; some obviously casing the area.
Even though I have a concealed carry permit and weapons, I do not go out at night. Best to avoid an encounter, because if you shoot these fools, you’ll definitely be sued.
Just curious what the attitude would have been if the occupants of the car had been Caucasian. And three concealed pistols, really?
3? Seriously?? If you’re so scared you feel the need to carry THREE guns, you should just stay home. SMDH
Chris Bradsher, why should a law abiding person have to stay home while criminals are free to roam?
Is it not against the law to fish buffalo lake. How do you rate the privilege of fishing a body of water that’s been off limits as long as I can remember. If you’re using your buddies clout to avoid prosecution he should be called on the carpet. Sounds to me like you both have an unhealthy fear of people, not all people, just the ones that don’t look like you.
It’s a private lake
In many places, (like a park), it can be dangerous – especially at night. Concealed weapons at home deter most would-be burglars. CC permits deter most confrontations in public. Criminals prey on the weak and unwary.
Mr. Miller I’d like you to clarify something for me, aren’t city park’s closed at dusk? What would you be doing in a park after closing? Maybe you made a mistake in saying you need a cc at home to prevent danger. I’ve lived in this area for many years and don’t feel the need to carry all the time. Mostly if I’m out at night for dinner or a show. I’ve seen a lot of humble men turn Rambo because they have a weapon. Don’t be that guy and you won’t invite trouble.
Buffalo lake is north a city park
Thanks, ND. “Miller” is my first name, my last name is “Dipstick” I qualify.
Think you misundertook what I said, but I may have mis-said it.
