Is it the safest place just like we are a "gated" community? People carry guns for the same reason people wear seat belts. Does anyone take off their seat belt when they are on "safe" streets with no other traffic. Take a look at the crime statistics for your county and you may be surprised to learn your odds of being a victim of crime. Florida's crime rates were a shock to me as I looked at the various counties statistics before I made up my mind where to move. I lived in NJ and our crime rate was lower than all of the places i looked at in Florida.
As I am fond of telling people here, even criminals retire and go to Florida.
