We live a block away from Fondren South (SW Houston), which never was a great area, but now is a war zone after Katrina. We hear gun shots just about every night. This is the reason why I went and got my CHL. We also got a new dog (a 7 month old Boxer). We would move, but to be honest there is no place to move to. I am a teacher in a smaller school district out in the suburbs/country. Due to the population of kids I tend to work with, I know the police officers in the area pretty well. I can tell you that the crime in the country is just as bad as in the city, if not worse. It just doesn't get reported as often. The fact is that we live in a fallen world. There is no safe place. We have to take care of ourselves and each other.
