The Sun didn't do much in the way of research on this one before opening their yaps. If they had, they'd have discovered that Idaho is tied for fourth place with Rhode Island for lowest murder rates in the country. Nevada is 48th out of 50. SOURCE. This "reporter" should have concluded that a little laxity might just be in order here.

Nevada is 48th out of 50.

I suspect that a well established heavy mafia presence, legalized prostitution and gambling, and general drinking and party atmosphere in Reno and Vegas have more to do with that.
