It has simply become part of living in this country--nothing unusual here, just move along.

Don't live in California, and live in a gated community, and you have less to be concerned about.  Or don't worry.  Where I moved to, has a much higher crime rate than where I moved from.  And I moved because my daughter is here.  But I didn't consider the crime rate.  So I will just have to not worry.  I don't have any grandchildren yet, so school safety isn't an acute concern.

"... crime analytics. With a crime rate of 55 per one thousand residents, ... has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes - from the smallest towns to the very largest cities. One's chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime here is one in 18." ... US average is 14 per one thousand residents.  GB measures crime in a different way.

I am armed.  But success is avoiding an incident, not successful violence on my part.  I know where not to go, when not to go, and what kind of people get into trouble.  Once lived in an inner city Hispanic gang neighborhood.  I made sure I knew some Spanish, that I was Hispanic friendly, and avoided any direct involvement.

Most recently I was living in a slum apartment.  In the time I was there, my next door neighbor, I saw what looked like an MS-13 member leaving after making a drug delivery.  If you live in a nice upper middle class neighborhood, like Littleton CO, you have nothing to worry about, except your own murderous latchkey teen males.
