About 80 per 300k or .00002% of the population are considered to been the victim of violent robberies.

Might want to double check your math. You forgot to multiply by 100 to get the percentage. That's .02%.

Not sure where you got your data from but it's likely that your stat is an annual rate, if so over a lifetime the cumulative risk would be nearing 1%.

That is on you. Hopefully it works out.

I'll continue proactively taking measures to protect myself and my family while you gamble on not taking measures to protect yourself and your family.
