Dear B4,

Well, it's only measuring dangerous drivers in the US, but Houston does OK on this list:

Houston drivers near top of list of most dangerous in U.S.

t may not come as a surprise to those frequently stuck in Houston traffic that the city�s drivers are some of the most dangerous in the nation.

A report from Men�s Health Magazine ranked 100 U.S. cities� drivers ranging from safest to the most dangerous. Houston fell behind only three other cities for most dangerous. The magazine based its ranking on National Highway Traffic Safety Administration data that tracks fatal crashes, the percentage of fatalities involving alcohol, speeding, hit and runs and the rate of seat belt use. It also factored in the average number of years between accidents and laws on cell phone use while driving.

Dallas and Austin were also ranked in the top 10 most dangerous in the report. Out of Texas cities, Plano fared best at number 34 on the list. The safest drivers out of those ranked in the report is St. Paul, Minnesota.

Here the rankings for the most dangerous drivers:

St. Louis, MO
Dallas, TX
Charleston, WV
Houston, TX
Billing, MT

Of course, it really doesn't matter where you live, anyway; it's all inshallah, remember?

Samarra was a relatively safe place, too:

"The speaker is Death

There was a merchant in Bagdad who sent his servant to market to buy provisions and in a little while the servant came back, white and trembling, and said, Master, just now when I was in the marketplace I was jostled by a woman in the crowd and when I turned I saw it was Death that jostled me. She looked at me and made a threatening gesture, now, lend me your horse, and I will ride away from this city and avoid my fate. I will go to Samarra and there Death will not find me.

The merchant lent him his horse, and the servant mounted it, and he dug his spurs in its flanks and as fast as the horse could gallop he went.

Then the merchant went down to the marketplace and he saw me standing in the crowd and he came to me and said, Why did you make a threating getsture to my servant when you saw him this morning?

That was not a threatening gesture, I said, it was only a start of surprise. I was astonished to see him in Bagdad, for I had an appointment with him tonight in Samarra."

Regards,
John

Firearm permits are issued to people who own businesses in Turkey and most people carry them in the eastern regions. When we visit some relatives we hear stories of accidental discharge and even sometimes suicide attempts (unsuccessful thank God).

Children are always keen on where the parent stores the weapon. Usually the magazine is removed and the chamber is emptied when responsible people store their firearms but on occasion there is a breach and children never miss this opportunity. So, if you want to keep firearms in the house then don't have children in the house or don't have children.
