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...

All the time I was in NY I never saw or heard an incident ,the only time i did hear gunfire was when we went to Florida,now THAT was scarey.

We need more information... how do we know it wasn't self-defence?
