I certainly don't want to go anywhere near places where people are allowed to carry guns. Many parts of this country are obviously insane. I don't share the "values" of these gun-carriers, I am sure. I'm sure I exaggerate the danger, but it sure makes me hesitant to venture into those places. Not that I would venture into many urban blue-state ghettos either. Even some places in the SF Bay Area are not safe. But can you imagine hanging out at the Republican convention in Ohio, with all those angry people outside, and all of them allowed to carry guns, openly?
Travel is also made difficult by the fact that we depend on huge trucks for deliveries, who monopolize our interstates and cause many accidents with the hapless cars who dare to use "their" highways. More insanity. Both ways, you take your life in your hands. I avoid I-5, for example, now. Once using it was plenty for me. Never again. I'll just stay on the west coast, and "fly over" to the east someday. Or visit Europe. But, if I want to see how the other half lives, I can always visit my friend who lives near Bakersfield.
