^***Age groups 18–44, 45–59 and 60+ were used to predict carrying-fighting outcome. Chi-square test of age predicting carrying-fighting has 2 degrees of freedom.

^***Suburbs of central cities with population greater and less than 2,000,000, as well as adjacent and outlying areas of central cities were combined to predict this outcome. Chi-square test of urbanicity predicting carrying-fighting has 3 degrees of freedom.
