do all here really think the small country hamlets of the goobers and gomers publicize the firearm fatalities the way more populated areas do??

I have extended family in the Ozarks area - alcohol and 20-30 guns in a house with 10k rounds of ammo not at all uncommon in the area - do the math.......

When I stop for gas at a small station/convenience store in one of the yokel towns and ask the attendant 'hows it going?' the typical reply is 'great - haven't been robbedat gunpoint in almost 3 months...'
