No record homicide rate by guns means we're all in a lot more danger than we used to be. Some hunters have gone crazy this year. I just had a guy shoot a rifle at night from his truck less than 300 ft from my house. Shots are going off after dark almost every week. People have lost their mind.

No one should be shooting a firearm from a vehicle. Call the police if you witness that happen, and try to get the license plate if you can do so safely.

You're welcome to move back to California if it suits you better.
Also, if you're not involved in crime or actively abusing your partner, your odds of dying by firearm are miniscule. In the US, I believe I read today we were at 20,000 homicides in a country of 320,000,000 people. A notable amount of the deceased were dealing narcotics, involved in gang activities or other criminal dealings. Now that said, do you still have a reason to worry?

Yeah, because the violence that follows drugs and gang activity is not exclusive to drug and gang activity.
