Utah is an odd state. As you drive down one of the canyons you can look across and see the rifle pits that were constructed during the Mormon War. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utah_War My brother lived in Utah for about 20 years. He had his work but his wife referred to it as 'camping out'. In the '60s and '70s everything revolved around the LDS church. If you were what they referred to as a 'gentile' there wasn't much. The author Ed Abbey quipped that only in Utah can a Jew be a gentile. It's liberalized quite a bit since then but it's still controlled by the LDS. > Nice low population density = no need for too much regulation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ List_of_states_and_territories_of_the_United_States_by_population_density The numbers are somewhat deceiving. The valley along the lake from Ogden to Provo has about 1.2 million people, greater than the entire population of Montana. https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/ut/salt-lake-city/crime#description > Anyone eaten squirrel?
