It's suburban America which is not prepared - go into the inner city, and they'll be quite willing & able to defend themselves. Go into the country, and they'll also be quite willing and able to defend themselves. The soccer-mom-filled suburbs, though...

You are correct. When I used the word "urban" I was actually referring to a dichotomy of two sectors (those who live in the countryside and those who don't).

Your defining it finer by separating urban (city) from suburbs is more on target.
