I think New Hampshire is the safest state. It has a very low crime rate.

Here is an article that factors crime rate and comes up with the same result as chitwon. New Hampshire is the safest crimewise.

LOL Louisiana = #1 for most murders.

Alaska. Nobody's gonna kill you if you're in an igloo 800 miles from civilization.

Nobody is worth killing under those circumstances.

According to the link from sheppard, the states that are safest go in this order:

1. New Hampishire
2. Vermont
3. North Dakota
4. Maine
5. Idaho
6. Wyoming
7. Montana
8. Wisconsin
9. South Dakota
10. Iowa
11. West Virginia
12. Utah
13. Virginia
14. Minnesota
15. New York

That last one actually surprised me.

I think my state, Connecticut, is safe. No tornados, hurricanes, extremes or crimes.

I'd say, Montana or Alaska. One of those states where everyone lives very far apart and has guns. If everyone has guns, then everyone knows not to mess with anyone. The lack of proximity to one another, tied in to the fact that they're out in no-man's-land and need each other to survive is probably a factor in low crime rates.
