I relocated from the suburbs of a large American city to the Appalachian region. Our local crime rate is so low, we have the highest safety rating there is. At the same time, the local citizens are armed to the teeth.

@Fuerwahrhalunke The locals who have families that go back here for generations, teach their children to use guns and to hunt as a practical skill. It was a real culture shock when I first moved here to see a local newspaper run a story about an 11-year-old boy who killed his first deer. The caption noted that his family would not go hungry that winter. A lot of non-hunters don't realize something biologists know - deer without natural predators overpopulate and die slow deaths of sickness due to overpopulation. The hunt keeps them healthier. I was once on a two-lane road in a long valley and the sparse traffic had come to a halt. I got out of my car to ask what was wrong. Deer roam everywhere here, and a driver had accidentally hit one and severed it's hoof. There was no saving the deer. Did someone call the authorities? No. Some man in a truck had a gun on him and put the poor injured deer out of it's misery. It's a different world in the mountains. 🤔

@arnewengertsmann9111 I have lived here for just over 20 years now and have never seen local news reporting a gun accident. So, yes, the locals are responsible. I'm not sure what the rate of accidents is elsewhere. One thing that might surprise a lot of people is that 62% of the gun deaths in the US are from suicide rather than crime according to the CDC.
