    This is mainly for you Americans out there. I want to know whether it's really as bad as portrayed in the media. Would be nice if you could add the state to your story.

    Extra question:
    Do you have a gun?

    I did see someone shop lifting once but they were caught.

    And yes I do own/use a gun (Technically my Dad owns it and it is barely powerful enough to injure a waterfowl and no I am not American).

    Nope, I haven't really. And, what the media portrays is true about 10% of the time. In my opinion. What the government what's us to hear is different than what the media says. It always depends what state you're in for crime rates. In Ohio, I don't see a lot of crime. In New Jersey, depending on which part you are located in, there's crime. Personally I have never seen any acts of it. Me myself, I do not own a gun. My father, and grandfather do though. I don't really think acts of violence solve anything. If I were to "protest" and such it would be non-violent. I also don't know any criminals either.

    Minnesota is a pretty easy going/low crime state.
    No guns in my house...

    I've seen the government.
    Does that count as witnessing a crime or knowing criminals?

    Well, unfortunately I became a victim of a crime. I know that criminal, but he never got to jail for it. I also was 100 meters or less away from the police solving a crime where someone got stabbed with a knife and/or died, not to long ago.

    Maybe you Dutch people know it, 2 weeks ago or so, there was an explosion in Heerlen because someone stole gas pipes. The explosion exactly happened when me and friends of mine cycled by, we were all fine and were left over with a couple of scars from glass falling onto us.

    Yes I have witnessed a crime. I guess. I was with my mom and dad and my dad was driving my mom to work. So, we were waiting at a red light and some genius decides to run the light. HE doesn't just run it, he runs into a person. The most terrible part was that he just ran over him and kept going. The guy survived though.

    I know a criminal as well. My uncle. He's been to jail twice and I think the next time he goes to jail for life.

    No I don't own a gun. My uncle does though.

    New York is a terrible place XD

    Alot of crimes, Provocation, almost-murder, assault, and others

    Once I was at a military parade something like that, and while we grouped to see a band's performance, some idiot tried to provoke this woman while not knowing that the parade was gaurded by almost 20-25 soilders, the woman started screaming "HEY, GET OFF ME!!" and like this fast guy came in and RKO'd the provoker, his future is unknown *smoke machine*


    As for the side question: No I don't have a gun but I do have this heavy gauge steel thingy which I have at all times (even in school, hidden in my bag) and it kinda looks like this:

    Trust me, this isn't like a baseball bat, this heavy gauge steel can destroy that stained wood with ease, so watch out for people carrying something like these

    Just like everywhere else in the world, some places here are better then others.
    Typically, if you do the research, places that have gun bans have higher crime rate, as criminals dont follow the rules.
    --
    Technically, if you ever herd someone harass someone verbaly you have witnessed a crime, if youve ever watched a pirated movie its the same.
    In terms a street crimes Ive only seen one or two. I saw a drug deal once,
    and plenty of alcohol violations.
    --
    I dont own a gun, but I have used them before.

    And yes, my dad is a cop, so he is required to have a gun. XD

    I once was at Ponypark Slagharen, and me and my friend needed candy. And we needed it very, very badly. Unfortunately, we had spent our money on other stuff, because you know, kids can't handle money.

    We came up with this brilliant idea: my friend would distract the store employee, and I would quickly sneak candy from the stocks. We succeeded and had an amazing Hello Kitty lollipop with a cool present!

    Also, our house got robbed by the girl & guy that were in the news a lot. My parents were just divorced so there was nothing expensive in the house, except for an iPad and a TV.

    I have a super-soaker if that counts.. :oops:

    I know myself. Was convicted of too much swag.

    And why are you so obsessed about asking people about owning guns?
