Zero in the next 3 years. Slim/none in the next 5. '5' is only because I can't see the future... and because I'm respectful of the fearful sort of human. The disrespectful portion of me would say you're good to go anywhere in Colorado for the next 10 years.

It can happen anywhere, but there has to be an existing level of unrest to spark a boiling point. We simply don't have that extreme level of discord here in Colorado and it doesn't exist in an overwhelming majority of the country. But if you want more information, go ask some people that you cross paths with during your day to day. 99.9% of them will have no idea what the heck you're talking about.

And I'm guessing that at least half will think you're weird for asking that sort of question outside of an anonymous internet forum.

Who knows? I could invent hypothetical geological locations in the Denver metro area that could turn into warzones based on hypothetical assumptions that the issues of the ass-backwards south will eventually show up here someday.

The world can change tomorrow. Our country can change tomorrow. I would recommend that you live where you want to live, do what you want to do and be prepared for when things go wrong.
