I totally agree with you. It's crazy. When I was there, there was a community pool and one day one of the life guards was shot and killed at the pool whilst on duty in front of children's etc by her ex boyfriend. (I wasn't there but it was awful afterwards as all the other lifeguards were destroyed by it and a lot of the children had to have counselling).

I don't think it's as bad in the north really though is it? I only saw it in South Carolina....there you could buy guns in the sports stores pretty much... A lot of the people I met had hand guns...scared me to death to be honest but that was the only incident I saw. I heard about a few shootings but nothing other than that one horrific incident...

Not too nosy Kaz. I did the Au Pair thing. Worked for a family who lived in Conneticut then we moved to South Carolina. One of the best years of my life...
