Yep
I tried for years ..off and on.. to talk my mom into moving about 10 mile from where she lived. Which was on the edge of a bad area.
Thankfully, nothing serious ever happened to her..other than whack jobs stole stuff out of a then 70 y/o widows yard.
Yes, I would think the logical thing to do would be to move. If one thinks they absolutely need a firearm to protect themselves, their family, and home, then they really ought to think about why they are in such a place.
