Let others be warned that when one leaves the jurisdiction in which a crime or tort occurred, the clock on limitations stops until he returns.

By the way, this is called tolling if one wants to do the research.

Last happened in 2002 and I left AZ in 2010. Think I’m good but definitely appreciate your input!

I'm 54 young years old. I don't frequent bad areas. I am super vigilant of my surroundings. There have been 3 times I felt I was going to potentially need to draw my weapon. There was one time I did pull my gun on a guy that blocked me in and jumped out of his car. Long story short, he was trying to hustle me for some money back in 84 Tucson AZ.

How do you know what he was doing? Can't go by what he said back in the 90's I was attending a class in Austin Texas for work in our county DWI diversion program. At the end of the day I went to a Denny's to eat on my way out I caught someone walking fast toward me out of the corner of my eye i drop to one knee and pulled my snub nose out of my boot, he looked shock and back off saying I though you was the manager and i wanted to know if you was hiring. I showed him my badge and told him to show me his hands at that time i heard something hit the ground and looked it was a large knife.

Here is the table regarding lifetime risk of crime based on data from 1975-84. Caveat is that crime declined quite a bit during the 1990's until it stabilized around the 2014-2020.
