Small town security, or head-in-sand-ity?

I live in a place some city-dwellers don't think exists any more.
My small Fulton County, Ohio town is place where most of the faces passing by on the road are recognizable...a place where people can walk to work and church...a place where housing is still (fairly) affordable, and doors are often left unlocked...a place where families (sometimes two or three generations at once!) can be seen together riding bikes on a sunny Sunday afternoon, or enjoying ice cream cones on an evening stroll...a place where neighbors actually know one anothers' names and maybe even something about each other...a place where the largest crowds form at pee-wee league games on weeknights and in church pews on Sundays.
And my small town is a place where an over-the-road truck driver recently came to pick up a load of furniture just hours before he was arrested and, according to Nashville's (TN) Metro police, confessed to being a multi-state serial killer.

NRA-ILA Executive Director
Silly question, I know. But your NRA-ILA is fighting against huge corporate conglomerates who argue that the rights of a humble patch of asphalt outside a business trump yours.
They argue that companies can void the rights of law-abiding citizens on company property, even if the property is open to the general public. If you stop at a grocery store, for instance, they argue that the store can prohibit you from leaving a firearm locked in your vehicle while you shop. It doesn’t matter to them whether you lawfully transport a firearm for protection, recreational shooting, or hunting--even if you have a Right-to-Carry permit.
It’s not just guns. Lobbyists for big business in Florida claim that they can ban books, Bibles, or even a copy of the U.S. Constitution, from your vehicle as well. Their argument is simple: Any business can declare the constitutional rights of a person to be null and void, if that person is on company property.
