I guarantee you that criminals at least have to think twice before acting... I have a loan officer up there and he travels around a little so I definitely encourage him to pack..
You DO live in a good state... but F the Falcons!!!!!! 
Good state overall, especially the northern part, above ATL.
I grew up in NH , but left many years ago with no plans to ever live there again.
The Falcons may not have the best play off record, but wtf.
The avg slob fan like me can afford tickets and they are available.
I may get a season ticket, for 2015, so I can go the games in the new stadium ( in progress).
FYI, the ATL Braves is the most fan friendly pro sports franchise in history.
Plus, the Hawks had a good year.
I'd rather have avg teams and get to go to games then be in a major market and never get to go.
