California was 4th on the list (Maryland second). Moreover, there are rural states near the bottom in terms of gun-related homicide per capita, too (North Dakota, Wyoming...and one can argue that Vermont and New Hampshire are more rural than urban, too). There are rural and urban states scattered all over the chart...to the point that this is clearly not a valid factor in predicting firearms homicide rates.
