Just depends on which set of figures you look at.

That's not to say there aren't plenty of solid reason to not live in a city.

Either way, having a firearm on-hand that you're capable of using is a good idea. No such thing as a crime-free area.
You must have missed the part where I said nowhere is impervious to crime.

I grew up in a really small town, and know quite a few people living 30 plus miles from civilization, and not one of them has been victimized. I can't say the same for folks I know living in the metro area. The firearm thing, I've got that covered.

Sorry for the detail OP.
