Infrequent problem here in my province of Canada. You stand a better chance of being shot here by an angry husband than any other manner.

It is knives though that seem to be the weapon of choice here.

I feel your discomfort. Tonight is my support group which means I won't get out until after dark. It is a pretty sketchy part of town. I either wait at a bust stop for 20 minutes in fear or leave on foot, get through the area as quick as possible and walk 45min home.

There was a stabbing just days ago nearby where I will be.
