If I have to carry a gun to defend myself, then there's no real advantage over walking around a gated community or a middle-class town. At least people can hear me scream there, or might drive past.
That's my point. The woods and back fields just look empty, but there are German men who live out there or own forests or hunt or collect mushrooms. And some of them have been thirsty for decades or are just legit crazy.

I've heard stories and experienced some stuff. 😬 Feel safer in the town.
