Check out Rush Limbaugh's website, and look up the County election results map of the USA: The red areas voted for Bush, the blue ones for Gore (primarily urban). Someone did a study on crime rate comparisons in the various counties, and there was a really significant difference ( I think the results are posted there too).

In short; within the Bush areas, you're pretty safe. In the Gore areas... well, watch your butt!

Up here in Southwestern ME we have a lot of "blue", and those of us of the politically INcorrect persuasion do what we have to in order to protect ourselves, our families, and fellow Mainers. Personally, if I have to venture into Portland, especially at night, I practice the following security procedures:

Tactical awareness and avoidance.

2nd Ammendment, US Constitution / Valid CWC Permit

M-1911-A1, discretely concealed while quickly accessable.

Sobriety while under arms (not required by law, but makes sense and socially responsible).

Of course these options are no longer leagally available in "enlightened" Europe, Australia or most of the world... where we understand (from other sources than the popular dominant "news" media) that working-class Citizens are finding themselves increasingly victimized and dependant upon their Governments for their very survival. There are a few of us (just barely enough, it seems) left in this Country to see to it that that trend does not extend here, not just yet anyway.
