    I’m not arguing with you on this, I agree with your main point. But I also live up here and, sometimes, talk to my neighbors. (Or argue with them, but that’s another story.)

    I think it’s a cultural thing and it’s tied pretty closely to why those people own so many guns in the first place. Many of them honestly believe cities are hotbeds of crime and city people come up here and bring the crime with them.

    I’ve tried explaining how ‘per-capita’ crime statistics does not support this view.
