Do I need to wear a bulletproof vest when visiting Manchester UKs, Europes capital of gun crime ?
Yes it would be well advised to wear a bulletproof vest as gun crime is at a shocking level in Manchester and shoot outs are not just confined to certain areas like many other cities but take place all over this wretched town. Don’t be suprised if you are walking through the city centre and you see a gun battle in full progress as these are indeed quite common and are the reason us locals call the place ‘Gunchester’ and how the city has earned its enviable reputation as Europe’s capital of gun crime. If you have enough money to hire a private security guard when visiting this would also be a good common sense measure to protect your own security.
