I assume you are talking about Utah. It's a very small state. Looks like it falls in line with most other states with a similar population size.

That's my neighbors to the south. They do have issues with firearms despite being heavily Mormon. My neighbors to the north are Montana. I am not sure what makes Wyoming and Montana unique from Utah in that regard.

Oh, in that case you are talking about a state with an even smaller population. Statistically, Wyoming is still in line with other states even if it has never had a school shooting.

In other words, there is not enough data to draw any conclusions about whether WY is better off in this regard.
