USA, Arizona here. I've had an incident where there was a gang fight at a place I was eating at and they pulled guns. Luckily they didn't kill each other, dont know what would have happened as the scrambled when they heard police sirens. A word to the wise, somehow I knew something bad was going to happen, lucky for me it turned out OK (though not for some of the gang members) but always trust your gut, and get out of there if possible. Though I actually did trust my gut, but my family wouldn't leave with me. So I had to stay.
No, I don't think the fact that a lot of people own guns deters anything from happening. People arnt too logical when they get angry.
I plan on owning a gun semi soon when I can aford it, and get a CCW (concealed carry weapon permit.) Though I will probably rarely take it out except for target shooting, in most situations I believe having a gun only makes things worse (well assuming you have some other means to defend yourself, like MA or mace).
