Your Residence - City? or Rural?

[Mowingmaniac 24/7]

I live in a rural part of Texas.

I don't worry about home invasion, though to be sure I've no guarantee it couldn't happen, but the probability is relatively low in comparison to living with a big city limit.

How about you?

Rural or City?

Feel secure about where you live?

 

[oldag]

Yes.

 

[hooper]

City. Decent neighborhood, but of course things still happen here.

I feel safe, but probably not a good thing. Would probably be better if I didn't feel safe, as to be more suspicious.

More rural than urban. More rural than suburban - but not really rural.
I'm pretty warm & fuzzy about it.

Semi-rural.

I feel pretty secure here.

Rural, and yes, feel very safe. A true story.

I live towards the end of our county road, in fact, I'm the very last house on our end of the road. This county road is about five miles long. My nearest neighbor is about half a mile away from us. There are not very many people living on this road.

About ten years ago, an elderly lady was attacked, robbed, and killed towards the other end of the road, by three young men. They caught them, prosecuted them, and sent them to prison.

Now, I know it's very unlikely for that to happen again. Crime in this part of the county is almost none. But, I fully realize that it COULD happen again.

I am ALWAYS armed ever since that incident occurred. Something is either on me, or within reaching distance.

Rural, about halfway down a 1mi dead end road. 6 houses.

Very rural, feel very safe. Have cameras everywhere, motion detectors at the gates and shop. Loaded firearms at both doors and every room. Other "deterents" and virtually no approach I wouldn't be aware of.

Axxe55 & avvidclif,

Geographically we all live on similar dead end roads and I like it that way.

Criminals couldn't pick a more difficult kind of road to escape.......

I live inside the loop610 in Houston. I feel save in the fact we are well armed. Another thing that gives the feeling of being secure the neighborhood is mixed with original (old dumpy houses like mine) & McMansions. They are generally 3-4 X of the original homes & new vehicles in the drive. My truck is 20+ years old & aint been washed in10 years. My house looks worse then the truck. Statistically they rob the nice houses.

Edge of a very rural small town.

Pretty safe, more worried about mother nature than humanity.

Pistol within reach for either though.

 

[FireInTheWire]

What category would- The hills have eyes- fall under? BFE?

 

[Geezer]

On the edge of Silsbee in a very small senior living apartment complex, so, small town/rural. We've only been here a couple of weeks and the people that we've met are very nice and "normal". That said, I still carry every step, every day. Yes, I feel safe here.

Geezer,

"in a very small senior living apartment complex"

Assisted living or ...?

Thanks, just being nosy.....

This morning in Fredricksburg a home invasion by a 19 year old who attacked a 73 YO man. The home invader beat and choked the older man and when the fiance of the 73 YO asked the invader to stop and he didnt, she shot him in the head. 19 YO invader will not be continuing with his criminal career. Police say it was drug related.

It can and does happen anywhere. Armed and willing to use force is effective.

I live in Pearland, take your pick. Jammed against harris county on one end and Brazoria on the other.

 

[Oldbluered]

Rural but not as far out as I'd like. Feel pretty secure. Got dogs, cameras and guns, shoot my dog and get shot.

Claymores with trip wires as well?
