I live in a high crime county. It is a high crime county because of the drug users. Most businesses in the area require drug tests to be employed at the business (I would imagine this would apply virtually everywhere in the States). Pot users and users of other types of drugs cannot pass a drug test thus they remain unemployed. In order to buy their drugs they resort to crime. I keep my doors locked day and night (there have been several home entries during the day). I own several weapons and seldom...if ever...go anywhere without being armed.
It is my understanding that 70% of our prison population is composed of drug related criminals. It is difficult for druggies to get a job...and it is difficult for them to hold a job...so they resort to crime...and some of the crime is gun related crime...including shootings.
