Ebbie: I've been Googling statistics about causes of death, injuries, and hospitalization in Alaska and you live in a wild and dangerous place!;-)

In broad terms, you are several hundred more times likely to be killed at work there than in say, DC or NYC, and the "Intentional Death Rate" is really shocking. However, the homicide rate is actually the same as that for that gun-law laden "Bleeding Heart Liberal" state New York(4.4 per 100k of population)(and I say "Bleeding Heart Liberal" in quotes because I am one). The numbers are shockingly high because of the high rate of suicides, and many to most of those are gun deaths.
