I'm in the 4 range. Finally getting stabilized from the murder in our appartments last Thursday night. It was a shock that had me swinging from Combat-Ready to dragged down depressed at the thought of what our 'safe' neighborhood had become. People from the surrounding neighborhood won't even talk or wave to us, like we were the murderer instead of being all victims of casual violence by some gang-banger wannabe.
Kansas really needs a death penalty for this crap.
