237. I lived in a fairly bad neighborhood in Tampa for many years. ...

I never had any problems. In general if you practice situational awareness and don't do stupid things like go to an outdoor ATM at 2AM, you should have little to fear.

I understand that some areas of South Florida are very dangerous but I have never spend any time on the east coast of that region. The west coast of Florida where Ft Myers and Naples are located seemed nice to me when I used to visit my daughter in that region.

The best way to survive a gunfight to is not to be in one. The best way to avoid getting shot by a person with a concealed weapons permit is to not attack him with the intention of putting him in a hospital or six feet under. Over a million Florida residents currently have a concealed weapons permit. The media would have you believe that "stand your ground" shootings are a daily event in Florida but this is false. The "Stand Your Ground" law has been in effect since 2005 but an in depth report by the Tampa Bay Times identified slightly more than 200 "stand your ground" cases in the 8 years the law has been in effect. I recommend this interactive report as it allows you to examine individual cases and break down these cases in many different ways. http://www.tampabay.com/stand-your-ground-law/
