Tennessee is Safer than other places

London's Daily Mail slammed Tennessee as being the most violent place in the US.
This is of course ludicrous.
There listing of most dangerous places did not even mention Illinois, specifically Chicago, Southern California, The Mexican Border areas, NY, Atlanta, Broward and Dade County, Fla and Jacksonville, Savannah, or the states they are in.
Memphis has a deserved bad reputation and nothing has been done about it.
Just as in other cities there are sections of Nashville, Chattanooga,Knoxville, that I don't stop in if I have to go through.
You don't have to worry, in the most of Tn. Violent Crime reports are infrequent. I don't feel it necessary to carry a gun except if I went to those previous areas quoted.

Friends, you are safe here. We don't tolerate these kind of people.
  • If you don't think TN is dangerous, just break into MY house. After my German Shepherd gets through with you, DW will start. You will wish the German Shepherd came back.
  • Relax...Go out and drive around your beautiful state and enjoy yourself. We did when we visited.

    Don't know if Tennessee is safer or more dangerous that anywhere else, but for sure you are being overly sensitive to what someone wrote.
    Lots of people write lots of stuff..Like I said, Relax.
