Sorry, OP, no cigar. EVERYONE is Alaska is packing heat, and look at their numbers.
If that weren't enough, as of 2014 the property crime rate in CA was 2,441.1 per 100K population, while the same in FL was 3,415.5 per 100K population.
The same year, the violent crime rate in CA was 396.1 per 100K population, while the same in FL was 540.5 per 100K population.
What really affects the number of car jacking per State has more to do with the makeup of the residents than anything else. California has a lot of organized gang activity for one thing. Secondly, California is car culture driven, lots of high end, exotic cars that can be sold to chop shops, or sent to Mexico as whole cars. Third would be the topography. Lots of expressways and crowded roads in California, where a car thief can quickly get lost into traffic.
If I were going to be a car thief or car jacker, I would move to California because of the valuable cars they tend to have an abundance of, compared to other States.

A quick Google search has led me to determine that the OP simply made this up.
The following link contains news stories about carjackings in the Miami area. You can see they are NOT rare. And these are just the ones that made the news: Carjacking « CBS Miami
Recently there was a show on TV about a Muslim woman who killed her husband and blamed the killing on a car jacking. In this show called "snapped" they mentioned that CA has many car jackings. (Btw, the woman is convicted of planning/plotting to kill her husband)
Florida hardly has any car jackings.
The difference between CA and Florida is that Florida has sealed gun laws and stand your ground laws. Criminals are aware that the driver of a car can have a gun! In California, criminals know that drivers are NOT allowed to have a gun.
Which State will criminals prefer for a car jacking?
Why not source your claim by putting in some google leg-work?
You offer a problem without supporting facts and then immediately arrive upon the solution.
Here, let me try.
The reason there are hardly any car jackings in Florida is because of Alligators. CA doesn't have any alligators which often hide in the back seats of peoples cars and notoriously HATE car-jackers.
Source your chit, or the alligators will undoubtably carpool to your home and likely eat your pets as well as deliver a tersely worded statement to you.
There is a huge difference between a car theft or car jacking.
Car thefts are high in most places. But being held at gun point to give up your car is rare in Florida.
There have been incidents at gas stations where people walk into to pay and leave their car open with running motor and someone comes and drives off. That is not the same as being at a traffic light and someone holds a gun to the window and demand someone to get out and takes the car.
That's almost never heard of in Florida. Very rare. According to the TV Snapped where the amount of car jackings were mentioned and more common in CA, that's a different story there.
Just google the show for the one where a Muslim woman who immigrated to CA had her husband killed in her car and tried to claim it was a car jacking as often occurs. But it was her being behind her husbands killing.
Some posters always try to make it sounds like me or other more Conservative posters are making up stuff when they don't have a response or want to shut down a discussion.
Old tactics that no longer work and just show their narrative.
