Hope no one is upset with Calgary's response to my thread. If you didnt' see it, here's my response to him.

Calgary, It's ok. It's obviously a "chord" that you struck here in the USA. We want all your trips here to be safe.


The stats I posted are just a part of it. And when you see it happening, either real or by the news, for many of us it is a very real concern. I was held up at gunpoint-carjacked-kidnapped, (as an adult kidnapping still applies). I was in New Jersey so couldn't carry. During the ordeal, which lasted about 45minutes, I feigned a heart attack and was able to talk myself out of harms way. The perp was eventually caught, served 12 yrs, 3 for each offence, and by now is walking the streets again....Humm, I wonder whats on his mind.
