As you know I lived in Canada for 2 years.. I'm American.
My truck, locked and armed was stolen out of my drive way in Canada after being in Canada for only 1 week. I then found out that Canada has one of the highest vehicle theft rates in the world.
My basement windows were broken out, more than once tried to break in to steal my computers. I also had someone walk straight into my house without knocking. And I had a neighbor try to get violent with me when he thought I broke into his motor home.
Now in Texas, I lived in a crap house in a crap city. Not once did someone screw with my cars or try to break in. Why? Well, because in Texas it's safe to assume everyone has a gun. Oh and I can shoot you dead on the spot, it really puts a dent into crime.
