World’s Most Dangerous Countries Revealed, And It May Change Your Travel Plans

I lived in Chicago, IL, USA for 17 years and moved after a guy was shot right across the street from my apartment. People were stabbed in my neighborhood too, mostly gang activity which I'd never be targeted, but getting caught in the crossfire was always a possibility. Now I live in a small town in Minnesota, USA, where the police cars I'm sure are collecting dust. When I go on vacation, I, like most vacationers, mostly go to the vibrant, highly populated cities which invariably have a ton more crime than the more boring and unvisited places. So, in most of the USA, you don't have to worry about gunshots. But if you head to of Chicago, NYC, LA, Miami, etc, your risk level shoots way up.

Haha... I live in a country with nearly 60,000 deaths/year caused by any kind of crime you imagine. This country is called Brasil, and yes, don't come in.

Are you kidding? At the rate they have shooting massacres there, I'm amazed it's ranked as low risk. Maybe a bias from a national?

Rate of gun deaths in the US - 10.54 Higher than Nicaragua, the Philipines, Argentina, all of Western Europe, etc.

Not really, no. Unless you are in a gang/drug related turf war or feeling suicidal, it's pretty unlikely. Despite what the news outlets and Democrats would have you believe.

Relatively speaking. Yes. Let's you know how bad things are in those high risk countries.

Yea relatively it is. I always lived in the suburbs tho so it's always been safe aside from maybe when someone stole our garbage can outside then nothing really . Usually happens in the city like d.c. which I'm not too far from

No, you don't.

Or identity theft, sexual assault, road accidents. Yep, nothin' to see here folks, move it along...

Yes f**k the world

Yep, in spite of all the media's attempts to make you think you are at risk of gun violence.

Actually, not safe. I used to live in a neighboorhood in Colorado where five or more gunshots would go off every night.

Gun shootings in the USA are over exaggerated by a sensational media. Its not to say that there is zero danger of it, but unless you are provoking someone who is crazy and has a gun, the chances of any confrontation are just about nil to none, but those chances of meeting crazy with any weapon could occur anywhere in the world, except Greenland evidently.

You're being suckered by politicians who want you to be scared. Less than 250 people have been killed by terrorists in France in the last 17 years, an average of about 30 per year. Compare that to any other type of non-disease death and it's nothing. Don't believe the hype.

The maps are averages for a nation. Obviously if you ‘zoom in’ on a particular nation you would see variations on a district/state level, and zooming in on those you would see differences on a city by city and town by town level. Go even lower to a specific city and you would find differences on a street by street level. You can’t expect global maps to have that fine level of information though.

No they are not "wildy speculative" at all.

Denmark is safer :)
