I don't know how helpful these kinds of lists are. I mean, each one of our states is about the size of a country in Europe. City or at least county level stats seem more to the point.

And one city like Detroit or Chicago and your WHOLE State becomes "unsafe"?I don't know how helpful these kinds of lists are. I mean, each one of our states is about the size of a country in Europe. City or at least county level stats seem more to the point.
Exactly.And one city like Detroit or Chicago and your WHOLE State becomes "unsafe"?
I have a little theory that nobody actually lives in Wyoming. Met guys from 49 states working in the oil patch in ND. Hell, even ran into a guy I went to highschool with. Never met one guy from Wyoming.Unless yer in Wyoming, which has a smaller population than the city of Albuquerque............
To be fair, some of my soldier buddies who've been to Detroit had nicer things to say about Afghanistan.And one city like Detroit or Chicago and your WHOLE State becomes "unsafe"?

As a NYS LEO I can say that you have little knowledge of our self-defense law.Well from the impression I've got of Australia from some of the people on this board who claim to be from there, in Australia you aren't allowed to use weapons against an attacker but you can pound an attacker as if you're putting down a zombie from one of those horror movies/video games as long as you do it with your bare hands.
New York State rates as very unsafe. Im not surprised, in New York State you practically aren't allowed to use any level of force against an attacker in self defense. Therefore troublemakers are able to get away with victimizing innocent people because the innocent people aren't allowed to fight back.

BURDEN OF PROOF
New York is one of the jurisdictions in the United States where the prosecution retains the burden of persuasion. Justification is an ordinary, rather than affirmative, defense. The defendant has the burden of production, but does not have the burden of establishing his defense by a preponderance of the evidence. Rather, if the defendant’s burden of production is met, then the State must disprove the defense beyond a reasonable doubt. Ultimately, the judge has the duty to instruct the jury on the law of justification whenever the defendant presents evidence of justification in the case.6
For starters, I don't know why you would say 'claim to be from Australia'. I have trained with Chris, there is also on of his students here, another is the student of another friend of mine and DB has said enough to convince me he is from Australia. I think that just about covers us all.Well from the impression I've got of Australia from some of the people on this board who claim to be from there, in Australia you aren't allowed to use weapons against an attacker but you can pound an attacker as if you're putting down a zombie from one of those horror movies/video games as long as you do it with your bare hands.

Having just read Tgace's post and attachment it is plain to see you are wrong., in New York State you practically aren't allowed to use any level of force against an attacker in self defense.
I could be wrong but I heard in NYS if somebody attacks you, if you fight back and they end up being hurt worse than you, you will get in trouble even if they took the first punch or attacked you first.As a NYS LEO I can say that you have little knowledge of our self-defense law.
While our firearms restrictions are downright stupid, our self-defense law is actually not as restrictive as many believe.
