SD has lower murder rates than Chicago but it has does have far more lead flying. Of course, it is out in the fields. SD’s very low population density is a good thing. More than 1.5 million pheasants were taken in last year’s season. Last year, more than 10% of SD residents bought licenses along with another 100,000 non-residents. Saturday is the season opener so there will literally be several million shots being fired over the next couple months by upland hunters. Not to mention deer, duck, goose, dove etc happening. Oh, about $10 and a week of processing time (plus a clear background) can get you a concealed carry permit...

That's the homicide rate. The numbers total tend to range between 10-30 a year. I bet 95% of those are domestics. Population 824,000.

East St Louis has over 25 homicides a year alone. Population 27,000.

And I was commenting about the homicide rate.

The numbers total tend to range between 10-30 a year.

What is your source for that?

Disaster Center

They have most, if not all states there. My state's rate is over double SD. Thank you Detroit (315 of the 567).

Cool link, thanks.

My state, the Peoples' Republik of Kalifonia, had 1,809 in 2010. Most were gang related, probably. Far less than what one would expect for a population of 37 million.
