Despite all the loaded guns in Dallas homes and businesses (and the

I'd like to see a cite for that

http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/cius2006/data/table_06.html

Dallas: 17.3/thousand population.
NYC: 2.7/thousand population

Dallas has 6.4 times the burglary rate of New York City.

Interesting. Just one more reason not to live in Dallas.

But then most people who can afford to, live in the suburbs, leaving the
less fortunate and the criminals in Big D proper.
