As a footnote I learned last night that in the US every houur someone get shot in the US... so the danger is definetly not less in some oter countries..Then again depends where you travel in the US...
Don't want to turn this into anything too political, but those stats are from cities that do not allow law abiding citizens from carrying firearms.. An armed society is a polite society. Crime capital of the US? Washington DC, a place where law abiding citizens cannot even have loaded firearms in their homes. If someone is breaking into your home, you have to first retrieve your firearm from a locked safe, and then retrieve your ammunition from another locked safe, and then load the firearm. Bullets in a magazine is considered a loaded firearm btw. Another question on that statistic.. Does that include law enforcement officers shooting criminals? .... Just my $0.02
To give you contrast, Mexico City, MX is the crime capital of North America (where all firearms are illegal).. 2000 petty crimes a day every day (roughly a million a year), and over 200 violent crimes every day (rape, murder, etc).. Please note that kidnapping is considered a petty crime unless, however, they kill or rape you...
If you think Brazils numbers are bad, look up Columbia (primarily Bogota)..
