Good! That's a key to survival, and natives have an upper hand knowing where to go (and when). Not so when I visited other cities, and accidentally ended up in bad areas and had good fortune in getting away. As you say, always been "bad guys" out there and you need to be wary of them.
As for Florida, don't know. Tennessee must be gun friendly. One of my brothers-in-law killed himself in Tennessee a couple months ago, blew his head off with a shotgun in his truck. He had depression/mental issues. Barely got any notice, carrying guns and then killing himself in a shopping area. Not the type to harm others.
By the way, I had a skunk on my deck patio last night. Those, I avoid. When the raccoons come, which is almost nightly, they don't bother me, downright friendly (but I'm still careful not to touch them). Opossums are darn ugly.
