I feel very safe.  

Of course, I don't walk down dark streets in Detroit or Philadelphia at night either.

Answer 2

How safe is the world from the USA?

Answer 3

We are our own worst enemy in the world and our government is the mastermind of it all. Never turn in your weapons as one day you just may need them

Answer 4

The crime rates are high for a Western nation, but it is still relatively safe compared to most of the world.

I feel pretty safe, but I live in a small suburban town, in a state with pretty low crime (MA). It depends on where you live.

Answer 5

Safe.

Answer 6

Safe as anywhere else i have been, alot safer than where i am now, but as with anything the weak are the ones that are preyed upon, because they are the easier to take advantage of, a criminal knows this and will always prefer to take on a quick easy steal than to draw attention to himself by going after someone as strong or stronger than him. Walk with intention and scan your surroundings is not hard to do and will 99% of the time keep you out of harms way, if you prefer 911 for assistance that may take who knows how long, then thats your perogative, myself i am armed for the sole purpose of my last line of defense, would rather equal my odds of living than to lessen them relying on someone else's help.

Answer 7

These are problems of every country, they are just compounded in america because of liberal laws letting the offenders go, sometimes scott free, if laws were passed to say, castrate rapists/ child molesters, and put all people proven, 100% guilty of a murder, on an express lane to death row, i guarantee you that crime would fall, no ifs ands or buts about it, i mean when are you gonna kill someone, when you think you'll get 30 years will parole in 5, or when you know that your gonna die for it

and i feel safe knowing that republicans still fight for our countrys laws and freedoms
