Skimming the thread, this comment stood out to me. I live in Iceland, and the cops do not carry guns here. In fact, pretty much no one carries or even owns guns here, other than goose hunters. There has been one murder in the last two years, and that's pretty much normal. Total lack of gun culture, and I love it. I feel so much safer here than in any city in the US.
