Retreat is always an option, however, intercity crime IS spilling into rural areas, not just homies busting down your door, but meth labs, prostitution and the general diaspora of urban communities moving to rural areas due to lower property prices and the increasing reliability of cars to transport people.
People keep using the "rural" card, not understanding that rural or suburban is as good a defense as using statistics to "defend" yourself (the statistics of me being robbed are XX%, so I just won't carry a gun, or other such nonsense).
There have been at least three "smash & grab" burglaries in southern Johnson Co in the last few weeks.
Rural doesn't = safety & security. Sometimes it can mean you're an easier target because no one is around to watch what's going on at your house.
