Ignorance can be curred by EDUCATION
[QUOTE=Mj0822;2490857]I seen a cute SW today walking around Cumberland and Jasper, so I pulled over to get her attention. When she came to my car, I asked her how much and she said "I'm good. " and continued to walk down the block, I'm assuming she's a SW since by the end of the block she was chit chatting with a guy through his car window and ended up leaving with him. Am I doing something wrong?[/QUOTE]Dude. As I said to the other poster - [U]You sir, are a statistic waiting to happen.[/U] Hey, I don't get any joy out of "pounding" posters on a message board, but SERIOUSLY! You are demonstrating a key ignorance that is gunna get you in trouble. {In this case I mean ignorance = lack of education} But never fear, there is education available right here on this website. It is up to you to seek it out and learn from it.
My first post which is relevant to you is 5928, then look at 5932 and 5933. You have some work to do. Pay particular attention to the questions in 5932 - if you can't answer those as you drive.... Look: Mongering looks easy, but good & safe mongering takes some learning to "do right. " Respect that, like any new skill, it takes some time & energy to get proficient.
The one thing that I will say that is good for you, is that you recognized that you might have been doing something wrong and did come her and ask for help. Good for you! The dudes who are too shy to ask or their egos too big to admit some ignorance are the ones who will end up a statistic.
So do some learning on your own and then come back and ask again. I learned the easy way. By asking "dumb" questions on these threads. The gents were kind enough to recognize my ignorance and help out. Hope you do the same.
It is just about the time LE runs its annual clean up the street campaign. Wrong time to be ignorantly shouting "how much" out a car window! LOL!
Seriously [B]INTERNALIZE the 22 rules![/B].
Good luck, stay safe!
[I]btw- picked up 5 SW'ers in the last 2 days - followed the rules EVERY time and stayed safe![/I]

MJ0822, and others who are new to the hobby:
The 22 rules are truly effective for maintaining your safety, and not totally screwing up (and away) the rest of your life. They are a must for mongering in the city, Camden, Wilmington / New Castle and Newark DE, however, up until recently, the "burbs" were far less dangerous. "Quality of life crimes" are being prosecuted at a
far higher rate than ever before, because PA and the Federal Government have released more money to municipalities for policing, and they tend to go after the lowest fruit on the tree.
Should you decide to "hit the burbs", especially the northern one's, be careful, be aware, and most importantly, try to maintain control of the situation by utilizing the head atop your shoulders, versus his southern counterpart.
They're using female decoys in Montco, Delco, Berks, and Chester Counties. Just about every AMP has closed, or has moved their business to another location, which is a story for another day.
