That is what is the difference. Even in highly unlikely case i would face burglars i wouldn't be afraid of my life. That just doesn't happen here.
It's not kill or be killed. If i lived there i would probably think different.

Now, i've been in a military for about 25 years and probably know about using and handling guns more than you.
I own guns but i've never even imagined storing them at home. I wouldn't want to face a situation when killing a bad guy or in the wst case some of my family members accidentially.

Last time when the cop was shot was 1997 and even then the killer was foreigner. Cops nor criminals do not shoot people even every year.

But as said, it's a different country. You should try to think how to make yourselves a place where you do not need to live in fear of a boogey man.
