Hope you knocked on wood

OP: Someone was shot in the leg during a robbery attempt about 100 yards from my house, right around the corner. Remove the building on the corner, and I could probably have seen it from my picture window. Those kinds of things don't generally happen in this neighborhood. I still feel safe here, but there are parts of town where I do not. So, in short, you have to decide for yourself. Use your own judgement.
