Is the probability of being struck by lightning or being shot for the average person higher in TV?

Having some experience with a 40-something woman who went through the war in Bosnia...
I suggest using some of the same precautions you did going through a war, only obviously less intense... situational awareness is key, plus knowing how you will exit a place you have entered if need be. Staying out of questionable places at questionable times. Exiting quickly if you see a situation possibly escalating.
The only thing that bothers me about so many people carrying in a retirement village is that we're all getting old, foggy, and losing our filters.
But I do feel safer in TV than I would in other places. Also, I'm not inclined to go to large gatherings, although that's no guarantee to staying safe.
