Sierra Madre Safety
As for your safety down there, I wouldn't be terribly concerned with getting shot.
I lived in the Sierra Madres for the past 13 months and just moved back to Colorado.
The Sierras are loaded with drugs and guys with guns but...don't give them a reason to shoot you and you're fine. What you need to be wary of is the roads. While living there, I knew of about 20 people who were killed in separate accidents from driving off cliffs. Most happened at night after a few many Tecates, but not all.
Be kind to everyone you meet. Be very aware of your body gestures and how you 'hold' yourself. Are you standing there puffing your chest out looking for a fight or are you comming across in a non-confrontational way? Something to think about.
Learn some Spanish. Bring a small phrase book. The locals love when gringos attempt Spanish. Often times they see it as both humorous and respectful.
