That's a great place to live, although I personally doubt such a place really exists. But if you think your location qualifies, that's all that need matter to you. Just be mentally prepared to handle being disillusioned if the "It can't happen to me" mentality gets slam dunked by the "I was a victim" reality. Hopefully this will never happen to you. Especially since you appear willing to walk right into it unprepared.

Carrying a firearm is certainly not for everybody. I would not recommend it for you. But it would be nice if you tried not to make snide comments to those of us who have chosen to carry one.
