How many times have you all been shot in your careers? Being a small part of the general public leaves me unanswered, however I do have utmost respect for what you guys do, and have done. That said, if a personal glimpse or insight can't be given, I understand.

Thanks,

That's a nervy question, in that I would think many wannabees form the question mentally, but most figure out the answer in time to save themselves the embarrassment of appearing imbecilic by actually asking it.

You can't collect data in order to "figure the odds" on getting shot, hurt or killed in SF, and if that's your reason for wanting to know, you don't belong in the Community, anyway.
