The states on the list are only safe if you aren't in the gibs-me-dat portion of the state. Some of the states on the list are supremely blessed by not even having that portion at all.

Little bit of a bias to N. England States?

I don't think so.

I live in the ME-NH-VT Safe Zone, and when I travel out into the Lower 47, there is one VERY noticeable difference between the Safe Zone and the United States.

Can you guess what it is?

right. People who don’t know NJ -— DON’T KNOW NJ. I’m from Mass, and married NJ. MY Mother was very surprised when she visited me. I drove her around, and she was surprised. ( I’m in NE Jersey)

oddly, only Wyoming and Idaho are conservative states ... must have been an editorial slip up

Politics has nothing to do with it.

WY and ID do have something in common with ME-NH-VT, though.

The common denominator is that all those states are too damn cold.

Hi.

Then why are they all moving to VA, TN, NC, FL if it’s so good there?

Public service announcement:

If you are both a Yankee and a liberal, democrat, progressive etc., stay your ass home. If not, we will shoot you.

Thanks for listening.

Of course they do not show the full rankings, or their scoring rubric, or anything else. They allege that Alaska has 830 violence crimes per 100k, doubling the US average. Not buying any of it.

New Hampshire is number 2?
New Hampshire is a ‘constitutional carry’ state. You need no license for open or concealed carry there.

Ah... I think I found hermits for "Crime and Corrections"...

48. Alaska
47. Arkansas
46. South Carolina
45. Alabama
44. Missouri
43. Tennessee

The Old South seems to be the worst area and the enlightened Northeast is the best... hmmmm....

I don’t know our state out here in California It’s pretty damn big

I’d say the county I live in Marin County north of San Franpsycho is probably one of the safest counties in the United States of America if there’s no question about it

Now of course California is mostly a red and rural state , As well as the highest mountain range in the United States as well as the lowest point in the United States which are barely a hundred miles apart. Whitney and Death Valley

now oc 53 coyntues I’d say probably 43 to 45 of them are completely and utterly safe - you never have to lock any door - nothing- And all your neighbors will watch out for you and your kids

So take any BIG CITY RUN BY DEMONCATS IN ANY STATE. ALL 50

And you ain’t safe. Neither is yer wallet!

Life in the small towns in New Jersey that are north and/or west of Trump’s golf club in Bedminster is very much like living in old-time safe, even patriotic, America.
