Is Any Place In This Country - Safe?....

[MineralMan]

7. Well, every place and activity CAN be unsafe.

However, most places are safe, except when some demented, angry person decides to make some place a scene for a planned disaster. So, what is one to do?

The statistical reality is that you can go about your usual affairs, do your usual things, engage in whatever activities you normally do, and not experience some deadly encounter.

So, we need to focus on those who perpetrate those violent, deadly actions, not on the places where they happen. If someone is bent on killing people, any place could be unsafe, but almost none of us will ever experience such a thing.

When such senseless violence occurs, we learn of it almost instantly. Why? Because it is so rare and so out of place.

Maintaining some level of situational awareness is important, of course. Having some sort of plan for what to do in the extremely unlikely event you might possibly encounter is a good idea. Hiding away and not living your life is not the answer. Just be aware, and go about your business and recreation. Your chances of being involved in one of those situation are vanishingly small.
