And what is common among those states? See any major urban centers there? Take a few city blocks out of the equation and all of a sudden a state is very safe to live in. Heck, I live some 30 miles from what used to be the murder capital of the US and it's quite safe. Basically, get out of the leftwing lunacy of the inner cities into the sanity of the rural areas and the danger factor falls off a cliff.Safest states to live in......NH, Vermont, Maine, RI, Connecticut.....gee, no red states there
