I've often wondered why people from foreign countries picture the USA as if we are a living B&W western movie with shootouts at noon every day?
I have worked in a small city known as the murder capital of New York State for 35 years, and don't lose any sleep at night because I cannot even leave my CCW in a trunk lockbox where I work because it isn't allowed on the property per state law. I'll drive a wide berth around certain neighborhoods, but do not live in fear.
I'm actually in the process of closing on a lot to build our retirement house, in a small town bible belt area down south. The crime rate in that entire region is notably high, which scares people off when looking for a place to relocate. I didn't feel the need to be carrying when we walked around the main street area.....
