That is part of the reason I wanted out of CA (even though I'm from there)  Of course I moved to MD which is just as bad.  Oh well, trying to get to AX, TX, or FL eventually

He would either have tire tracks or a bullet wound BTW

I get a warning banner. Flagged for violent content. Must sign in or register, and it really does not like me. Mac.

I had something like that happen to me a few years ago at a car wash! A guy pulled up after some teens yelled at him as he drove by. He thought I had "smarted off to him". Of couse, I had not. I started to pull away when he ran at my truck while he threw a beer bottle that hit the bed on the driver side just behind my door. He stopped dead in his trackes whne the barrel of a .44 Iver Johnson greeted him at my window. The converstaion turn to a more of a apologetic nature. He backed off to his side of the lot, I cocked the hammer and told him "my truck better not be scrathed". One last quick " I'm sorry" and he was gone.

 One day back in the 90's my then wife was driving us back from Conway NH came to a car stopped on a usually busy road blocking one lane, with a guy standing beside it. My wife slowed down to go past and he grabbed for her door. We were all surprised my .357 came out that quick, I don't remember drawing just lining up front sight and forehead  He jumped and pulled back his hand like it was burned. Glad I didnt have to fire past the Ex, she would have Killed us for sure !

Yeah some people are crazy. About ten years ago I had a similar experience with an individual at a red light. He pulled up and freaked out, started hollaring and shouting. I hadn't done a thing to him. Light turned green, I drove off.. and he comes fly back around me and blocks the road, jumps out and starts coming straight toward me. I floored it ..right for him and swerved away at the last moment and drove on. I've often wondered ..what it he would have had a gun and opened fire? That was one of the reasons why a few years later on when ccw became availiable, I signed up and got into pistol shooting.. just in case. You never know about people these days. And once again at the time, I was an un-armed victim doing nothing wrong. The police or the government couldn't get there in time if they would have wanted to. Honest, law-abbiding citizens must protect themselves.

Almost ALL of Florida is a horrible choice if you want to get away from crime. In the small towns it's meth and white trash crime.  In the cities it's extremely aggressive latino, carribean, white, and black gangs.  So many people have moved there over the past decade or so that everywhere is crowded.  Heck, there's even violent gangs running wild in the beautiful Keys.

Florida was great prior to the invention of air conditioning.

Same for Houston, Dallas, the Tex-Mex border area, Phoenix, and the AZ-Mex border.  (I'm guessing AX is AZ since there right next to each other on the QWERTY).  If you want to escape this type of over-population crime you have to get out in the boonies.  Even there you have to worry about drug farming.  The right parts of TX and AZ would be perfect.

NH is OK if you get away from the Ma. state line. Most crime here is individuals selling drugs, and burglary, with an occasional store or bank robbery. most violent crimes are domestic,or fights between individual drunks.
