I empathize with the frustration over people not paying attention to the sign. I would be very annoyed too. I just don’t feel like it’s enough of an immediate threat enough to end a life.
While I don’t anticipate going to an area like that I appreciate the advice if I ever find myself there and need help.
I’m not arguing with you on this, I agree with your main point. But I also live up here and, sometimes, talk to my neighbors. (Or argue with them, but that’s another story.)
I think it’s a cultural thing and it’s tied pretty closely to why those people own so many guns in the first place. Many of them honestly believe cities are hotbeds of crime and city people come up here and bring the crime with them.
I’ve tried explaining how ‘per-capita’ crime statistics does not support this view.
