Hey Mooneye777 - that info site was very informative ..... kinda pulls the blanket off the "I live in the best town with no issues at" places

Dgas56 - perhaps you need to view the http://www.city-data.com/city/Minnea...Minnesota.html profile to get an updated perspective as to who is leaving in your area NOW.

If I had kids I'd be a bit worried abot the 106 registered sex offenders ..... but then again I'm sure a good ole fist fight would clear that issue up.

Although some smaller towns out west seem to be more imune to the trials & tribulations of the "inner city" its subjective to the national average.

My town of 22K seems to be on par with some of the smaller towns out west. But ... when I venture into the "BIG CITY - ATLANTA" watch out.

Guns DO have a redeming quality ... it puts ME on an even playing field with the criminals.

Would I like to move to a smaller town - hell yes. But with most industry is not major nor are the jobs. When I reach a financial plateau that affords me to move my family I will. Till then .... guns, guns & more guns.
