Daughter wanted to go there for vacation, husband couldn't get off work (16 hour drive) with three kids so my wife went along to help. Just got off the phone and they are on the way back. Visited family In Greenville,TX and Dallas and they took them all over that place in the last 4 days....TennesseeTuxedo said:

Unarmed!
You're as bad as me. I let my wife drive alone to Austin and back 2 weeks ago all without so much as an AR 15 in her Tahoe.

Violent crimes in Ely Mn. in 2017... One
1 aggravated assault, 0 murders, 0 rapes, 0 robberies
property crimes 40
2 car thefts, 7 burglaries, 31 thefts/larceny
A city the size of Ely Mn should average 1 murder every 29.5 years, so watch out they're overdue.
The last murder has been over 44 years... March 9, 1975.
3 men were returning from Wolf Lake (Goedders the victim) Nelson and Walhlberg.
Nelson was driving Goedders car, Goedders was asleep in passenger seat, Wahlberg in the backseat.
Car was on empty coming into Ely, Nelson stopped at Holiday gas station and put in $1 of gas, then
drove to Wahlberg's truck. Wahlberg retrieved a hatchet from his truck and they drove up Echo Trail
reaching a side entrance to a logging trail Nelson backed the car into a clearing. Nelson and
Wahlberg got out to urinate. They then woke Goedders and when he reached the rear of the car
Wahlberg attacked him from behind with the hatchet and Nelson in front stabbed him with a knife.
Goedders last words "Help Me" were to Nelson to which Nelson took a step back saying "finish him."
They loaded his body in the trunk and drove to Ely car wash and washed the car and themselves up.
Goedders body in the car trunk was discovered 5 days later in the co-op parking lot.
Trial:
Wahlberg was sentenced for 1st degree murder to life in prison in Oct. 1977 and eligible for parole
after the year 2000. Nelson collaborated with police and plead guilty to 2nd degree murder.
No motive for the killing was ever established. There were 2 local gossip theories.
1. Nelson and Wahlberg were dealing drugs and FEARED Goedders was going to rat on them.
2. Goedders was messing with Wahlberg's girlfriend.
Morale of the story.
Most victims know their killers.
In small cities you are far more likely to be murdered by a spouse than by a stranger on the street.
Perhaps buying 'the wife' a gun is not the smartest thing.
.... but to each their own.

Are you assuming or did you read something I didn't. Did your wife take her sister with her? That would be a good way to get a farm.

A person is more prone to use a gun against a animal or bailing someone else out of a jam than in self-defense. My wife shot a moccasin this morning while mowing the grass around the lake.

I can't apologize for liking my home state, especially outside the 7 county metropolitan area.
But I don't view the majority of small town America as that much different than rural Minnesota.
As for the Vikes, they'll put up great stats for having one of the toughest schedules in the league
in 2019 and go 10-6 but of course they will fall short in the playoffs as usual. It's what they do.

I think you'd find here in the south is a lot different than what your use to. I spent a lot of time in Two Harbors, MN and have a fIshing cabin in Hayward, WI. I'm fully aware how good you have it, that is till the cold sets in for months. People always tell me they can take the cold better than the heat, they've never been to Duluth in February.

Grit, I was just down in your neck of the woods a couple weeks back. Stayed in north Georgia, but spent 1 day down by Atlanta. I was a little hesitant of going to Georgia in the end of June but that's what my wife wanted to do. We were blessed with really nice weather, mid to upper 80's most days, and think a day or two may have been low 90's but that's not too bad when your not doing any work. Had a good time just relaxing and seeing the area. Thought of getting on here and seeing if anyone in Georgia would be up for some out of towners checking out their farm & cattle but never got around to it. Only problem I had with your state was that I couldn't stop trying different BBQ joints out and ruined my diet.

I'll trade teams with you...Texans for the Vikes.
If a person is going to call somewhere home, they should always stand up for it. State, and country.
