Here in Finland it's a PITA to buy a gun and have a permit, so question about rights to carry a firearm is not so hot here. Everyday people don't have guns, never had, and never wanted.
People who live in countryside has rifles and shotguns for hunting, and I have seen some Old McDonald's that have collection of old revolvers and automatic hand guns - illegal or not, I don't know.
We don't have many crimes where someone got shot. Usually if something like that happens, it's male, drunk as a skunk, who shoot in his own home, then barricade there when police come and threatens to shoot everybody including himself.
Exception of the Rule is Oulu, where they used to shoot in the streets at evening some years ago. Crazy people there.
I was once in a restaurant where one dude got mad to his girlfriend, grab a gun and shot himself on the leg. Pathetic? May be...I heard he had to move from town as he was everybody's laughing stock (most of the cities here are small).
I haven't thought about guns a lot. We don't have any, and I don't believe we ever will. I don't hate them, as no one has shot me (yet).
If I'd live in USA, I believe I had to make a decision to buy one or not.
