I don't get it. Are you people saving I made up all those statics? Are saying all this crime doesn’t happen where you live?
It's about applying your actual, real-time experience to your life and not relying on figures or media to supply that experience for you.
I've never experienced gun crime in my town but I do know it happens occasionally through the local paper. However I know when driving to town, by personal experience, I will have a 50/50 chance of an oncoming vehicle crossing the center yellow line through one of
1) Cell phone use
2) Looking at wildlife
3) Local logging company
4) Incapacitated through health or drugs
That's the actual reality I experience. I don't own a gun, I do drive very defensively.
The chances of me causing an accidental death through paranoia are extremely remote because I base my behavior on my actual experience not what some-one else is telling me I'm experiencing.
