We used to joke about hunting season "accidents". Unfortunately our beautiful rural state now has guns incidents weekly and murder rate has increased, although still extremely low. My daughter was in NYC in July. She was perfectly safe even when lost in a 'bad' neighborhood.
Depending on the neighbourhood, the "bad" would rather redirect tourists away than let them witness or get into crossfire which would bring more fuzz to the area. I'd rather be mugged by a rando than a cop. I love joking about who deserves to go hunting with Dick Cheney. Has he finally died?
