Small world! That stop is only a few blocks away from me. There are shootings in uptown, but it’s almost always gang-related. Carrying guns on the L is already illegal, so I don’t see any reason to be more afraid of states with more lax laws. Famously Chicago has high gun crime rates despite having some of the strictest gun laws in the country, so strictness of gun laws are probably not the best indicator of personal safety (I think this is a pretty uncontroversial argument, whatever your views on gun control).
