a lot
"Do you know that he was on parole?"
"Well, no , not exactly," I said hesitantly, " I haven't kept in touch with him but I heard that he was in some kind of trouble." She smiled to me and said, " He's gone a lot . It's not safe around here for him .you know.
My question is : what does " a lot " here mean?. It stands for "He's gone long ago" or "He's gone very far from here" or just something else?
Thank you in advance!

Gone a lot means often gone -- from the neighborhood (= around here ), presumably, in this case.
