obviously there is some crime here and there thats true for everywhere, but I live in White Bear Lake, just north of Maplewood / st paul, and the neighborhood where I live is great. There are alot of neighborhoods in St Paul on the east / west / or south that I wouldn't live in, but I have never been worried about going there for fear of being shot or mugged or anything of that sort. Kids are idiots mostly and the little "gang bangers" that live in the quaint little suburbs up here are just punks and don't normally hurt anything but your eyes. it's the inner city like downtown st paul where the drug dealers have taken over bus stops to sell there poison and in south minneapolis that the drive bys are taking place. like i said all places I'd never go cuz I have no reason to be there, if I did I'd carry my pepper spray, I don't have my CHL and still am himmin and hawwin over weather or not I really need it.... and if I did have it, if I'd even ever carry my firearm.
The CHL was only put into law here a few years ago, by the all to wonderfully known, Jesse the body Ventura http://www.92kqrs.com/Article.asp?id=70373
yep i voted for him.

ummm yeah, so crime is everywhere, but you CAN Avoid it for the most part, or at least I can.

I lived in TX for one year in Lewisville.
MN is completly different. The majority of the cities are very quiet and not crime ridden, there are maybe 1 or 2 places throughout the entire metropolitan area that are "crimeridden" and they are small, I never go there, or if I did have to go there, welll...... i'd never have to go there...
In the area I live, which is indeed in the city, we don't lock our doors, we don't lock our cars, I have never been afraid to walk at night and I cannot fathom being intimitaded at the mall...

I'd move if I were ya'll.......

ps, thats directed at u pbandj!
