I was in San Antonio once for a week and I never ever saw so many murders on the news in my life. And I was living in Oakland Ca at the time.

Texas was the most violent place I had ever been in my life

It is all just your perception. I was raised in one of the roughest towns in Texas, and was not a skeered of going anywhere and was never bothered... much.

In fact from 1990 to 1995, Texas is only # 10 on the list of violent crime per 100000 people, your own state of Ca. is # THREE and Florida claims the top spot..

The bouncers at the clubs on 6th street are armed.

So, what is your point?

EDIT:::::

I will have to edit my remarks on stats after looking closer. In 1990 CA. was #3 and Texas #10,,,, by 1996 that had changed. Ca. was # 6 and Texas had fallen to #13......
