Travelling anywhere in New England, I have yet to feel "the need" for a carry-along. And that suits me fine.

Well, Rhode Island is considerably safe; but since the population of the entire state is about half of the metro area of the city I live in, I wonder if that's because there's no one around!

Seriously, the crime stats for RI are low; but there were still 2,660 violent crimes there in 2009 (to include 39 murders, 287 forceable rapes, 786 robberies, 1,556 assaults) for a population just slightly over one million people, so it isn't like crime doesn't exist!

Heck, even in this metro are of well over two million, the chances of being a victim of a violent crime are low; but they go much lower when you have the ability to defend yourself!

I guess it's just the life of a sheepdog...
