We have a pretty low murder rate. Only two people were killed in my city last in 2011. Though to kick 2013 off three bodies have been found in the city next to us. Our city has more of a problem with drugs than murders. Meth labs, dealers, heroine addicts, etc... With the drug use you get a lot of break ins. Which is why I keep my shotgun close at hand. The next city over though, well the city that is on our border has a serious problem with gang crime. We all call it Victimville. Play on words of it's name, "Victorville." There are parts of that town you just do not want to be in late at night. I can handle the rednecks in my town, but Victorville at night is scary.
