I feel like that all the time when I'm visiting the USA as a tourist. Lots of people walking around armed, sometimes visibly, who could just pull their weapon out and start firing. Any sort of public fight (like 2 people yelling at each other in a restaurant) had me on edge because things could go south quickly.
Dang that's scary what part of the US do you visit
We've gone to multiple places but is say the worst areas are the big cities. We visited Chicago and if you strayed a bit towards the outer edges of the downtown area it got sketchy kinda quickly. Downtown itself wasn't too bad but at night I still felt a bit exposed walking around there with all the dark allies.
The plural of "alley" is "alleys", not "allies" (that's the plural for "ally"!) Those two mess me up, too. Damn you, English, with your sound-alike words and weird pluralizing rules.
