Right, and I get that. But compared to all you’ve said and what I’ve heard of other countries in this category, we don’t run those risks–especially for foreigners. I’ve been here, living and traveling for quite enough time to know how things are and I can safely say that the warning isn’t quite accurate. I’ve heard more gun shots in US streets than I’ve ever heard down here in roughly the same length of time.

So unless I can find a source that explains this, I wouldn’t trust this map too much.
