Surely, someone who's lived on the mean, crime-filled streets of Lynn, MA all his life has got to know how to handle himself! Just look at this dangerous, filth-ridden hive of villany:

From Wikipedia:
Lynn is the 9th largest
municipality in Massachusetts[3] and the largest city in
Essex County. Situated on the Atlantic Ocean, 3.7 miles (6.0 km) north of the Boston city line at
Suffolk Downs, Lynn is part of
Greater Boston's urban inner core.
[4] Settled by Europeans in 1629, Lynn is the 5th oldest colonial settlement in the Commonwealth.
[5] An early industrial center, Lynn was long colloquially referred to as the "City of Sin", owing to its historical reputation for crime and vice. Today, however, the city is known for its contemporary public art,
[6][7][8][9] immigrant population,
historic architecture, downtown cultural district,
loft-style apartments, and public parks and open spaces,
[10] which include the oceanfront
Lynn Shore Reservation; the 2,200-acre,
Frederick Law Olmsted-designed
Lynn Woods Reservation; and the
High Rock Tower Reservation. Lynn also is home to
Lynn Heritage State Park,
[11] the southernmost portion of the
Essex Coastal Scenic Byway,
[12] and the seaside,
National Register-listed
Diamond Historic District.

Unless Bob was somehow alive in the 1920s when this place was being overrun by mobsters, he's completely full of shit about "living in a dangerous area" all his life.
