    Make that every week...

    ...in either a school or workplace. I know it is not really that often, but living here it often sounds like it is.

    RE: It is at keast once a year is it not?

    3 police shot/stabbed when I was in New York - 2 in Greenwich Village at about 10pm on an evening we almost went down there.

    Came home and was telling someone I'd been to New York
    their response "Were you scared?"
    Just from being in NY! Feel safer there than I do in London

    Check this link out: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,266371,00.html</p>

    This doesn't include the odd shootings at schools where only 1 or 2 people are killed, or workplace shootings.</p>

    You'll be fine in SF. They past a bill last year to ban handguns in SF. Pity that one of the most dangerous places in the country, Oakland, is only the other side of the Bay Bridge.</p>

    I've been in this area for 10.5 years now. I have seen guns drawn twice: The Cops surrounding a building where a shoplifter was (biggest over-reaction I've seen since and Arnie S. movie) and the DEA with someone over the back of the car.</p>

    Wrong place. Wrong time. You have no control, but that can happen anywhere.</p>

    You'll be fine.</p>

    Look at this 1...

    — Mount Morris Township, Mich. Feb. 29, 2000. A 6-year-old boy shot and killed a 6-year-old girl at Buell Elementary School with a .32 caliber handgun.

    And Port Authority is in the dodgy area

    My mate has been mentioning for a couple of years about us going over for a NFL game just for a long weekend - so wanted somewhere we could fly direct to...problem is we aren't really bothered about any of those teams - my being a Saints fan and he's Green Bay.

    Just saw schedule today and the Packers at the Giants early season....so I'll have to work on him for that
