Thomas You indeed got it a bit wrong, Ive always said that as long as you dont mess with the bad guys they will pretty much leave you alone at least thats how it works in places like this it might work a different way in border towns I'm not sure.. Getting kidnapped its a whole different animal, usually they kidnap people who they already know have the means to pay ransom and they usually study your all your movements before they make a move on you. As for getting caught in the middle of a gun fight well that'd be plain bad luck, the odds are pretty slim though something along the lines of getting struck by lightning, same thing goes to getting robbed on the streets.
Of course there is problems but one must learn how to avoid them.
