Oh yeah, aside from the bad craziness that was the long hot summer of 2020 I've never felt particularly unsafe here. It's all what you're used to I suspect, statistically we're a lot more likely to die by the gun compared to other industrialized/wealthy nations. Even that is less ominous than it sounds, almost twice as many of our gun deaths are suicides rather than homicides, which is a peculiarity that's pretty well unique to the US.
Lol, a few years back I was in Oregon looking for a place to camp, ended up driving up a forest service road until I stumbled upon a gun range. Figured that was a good sign I was in the right place so I set up camp nearby.
You know even these virtual conversations you're a helluva reporter, right?
I know that feeling. Like finding the fire station in the middle of Watts at 3am way before cell phones or navigation or anything.
Hadn't realized I was doing anything reporter-y but thank ya!
Exactly!
