Maybe you need the facts,here's some.
I recommend you move to the south side of Chicago, or if not how about east St Louis.
Yes there is crime and I've lived in far worse places as well. If you happen to be stuck in a genuinely rough place, carry away, you may actually need to. Most guys going on about carrying guns don't live in bad areas, they talk themselves into carrying by saying "oooh! you never know what'll happen!" or the tried and true "I gotta protect my family from (insert group here)" Point is, most of us don't need to, we want to and it's connected to a need to feel badass. I'm not the original headbreaking badass, in fact I am generally laid back and try good manners first. I've been all over the world and lived and worked in some certifiably lousy places and still, I've never felt the need to carry. I have, however, broken most of the bones in my right hand over the past 40 years when good manners weren't sufficient. Still never wanted the gun. I like guns, I like to shoot but I feel that this propensity for some people to equate manhood with being armed is dangerous to others and to our shooting sports. I do agree with the idea that if we aren't going to jail execute or crucify armed criminals then we've no business keeping people unarmed. I also feel that when some ******* is waving his gun around when someone cuts him off in traffic (which wouldn't happen if a.) the dickhead wasn't armed, and b.) the police and courts had taken the bad driver off the road) When some angry jackass starts waving a gun when no one is about to kill him, he should be dragged behind the courthouse and gelded with his own gun.
Did I say that all areas are equally safe??? No, I did not. The data clearly shows that red states have more gun deaths than blue. I'd guess if you took NYC out of NY it would alter the stats but there are a lot of areas in NYC that are completely as safe (just not east brooklyn). The stats look at a state as a whole and so, in general, you're far more likely to get shot in Miss. than in Mass. There is nothing in my comment to make you assume that I am a pacifist, if you've no cogent point to make, don't make it up as you go. I'd imagine every city has it's scummier section, don' t go there.
With a walker, you don't need to fire it. It makes a fine bludgeon all by itself.
Take suicide out of the equation and what you have left is what you refuse to address........lolz.
How about Illinois, Michigan, Maryland, Pennsylvania you know Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore, Philadelphia those kinds of places. Remember the centers for disease control COVID propaganda. I like how they propagated gun violence as a disease something to think about there (anything to twist a issue to suite your needs) And the U.N. best thing there is kick there A33 to the curb the U.N has one goal global domination and realizes they will never accomplish that in an armed society, one can twist the numbers any way to suit ones needs. Notice I did not mention N.Y. or N.Y. city seeing as how you're from there, been on a subway lately.
Nothing Bad ass about it buddy. Your N.Y. attitude is starting to show.
That's raw numbers not per capita. If you list the top 20 cities in population I'd bet it correlates perfectly. By that token, no crime ever happens in Montana (1,000,000 people) all crime in california (~40,000,000) . You will get little argument though that democrat run areas are softer on crime. The idea that everyone is a victim wears thin when these "victims" victimise others.
Man, I'm not wasting time arguing conspiracy theories. Don't like the fact that red states seem to have more gun deaths, ok, blame it on hillary's emails. Whatever floats your boat.
I would carry a tactical nuclear weapon if I could just find a damn holster….
