NYC has over 1000 murders a year, so it hasn't helped. Fort Wayne has a lot of gun shops, and we have 40 murders a year. Most of them are gangbangers shooting other gangbangers. Scum-on-scum crime. Doesn't affect me at all. -- Chris Crawford Fine Art Photography Fort Wayne, Indiana 260-437-8990 http://www.chriscrawfordphoto.com My portfolio http://blog.chriscrawfordphoto.com My latest work! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Christopher-Crawford/48229272798 Become a fan on Facebook On 12/15/12 3:58 AM, "Mark Rabiner" <mark at rabinergroup.com> wrote: >Here in NYC we have a Starbucks every two blocks.
