I always felt quite safe when I was in Chicago.
But let's look at the numbers....
Looks like Chicago is behind 16 other cities in violent crime rates.... behind 23 other cities in murder rates....
Many of these cities have much looser gun laws.
And you forget... these stats ALWAYS ignore small towns. The statistics cannot compare them, because a few deaths in a town of 10k will skyrocket them up the list... So while these bucolic small towns in america (less than 25,000) think they are excessively safe because they never see themselves on the "dangerous cities" lists... that's because no one actually looks.
I'm kind of curious where they fall actually.
