Feel so unsafe I’d need a gun.
Try to be home by the time the street lights come on. I don’t get involve with those that might be into violence.
If I have a problem it would most likely be an intruder at home. If I were to call the police, it’d only take a few minutes. Live on a major road that is patrolled by State police, Sheriffs office, City Police and the Tribal Police.
I read the local paper and almost never read about anyone being killed by a stranger.
