Has anyone else noticed that a majority of these incidents happen in the Northern, Eastern, and far west postion of the US where gun laws are seriously restricting?

I was sickened to read the article and the subsequent covering of asses in the shooting the of the West Pointer at the Costco and this article made it worse.

I grew up in Rhode Island and people there were gun shy. I had a CCW while in that state and I cannot tell you how many people, my parents included, had something negative to say. I now live in Alabama where shotgun racks are full and the gun shops are busy. In most cases the only questions you hear when someone sees someone carrying a gun are usually; "Where did you get it" and "How much".
