to be honest with you though, i've witnessed many more violent acts in london and the cities in the US not wracked by gun violence (seattle, boston, providence) than i have in what are thought of as gun cities (e.g. new york, la, chicago, detroit). i'm not saying having 250 million guns is a good thing, no way. just making a point...

there's lots of places you need to be careful, no doubt, but very little violence here is random. you'll see in LA. easy to avoid sh*t as a traveller...
