I did not bring my gun when I was checking what is going on is because I do not have one. But at that moment I really wished I had.

OP brings up guns which is why I mentioned them. You are btw correct in your "it's a culture" argument but that doesn't change the facts. Finland doesn't have high gun ownership because people buy them at the supermarket btw, they just take their gun home after serving their conscription term. Same with Switzerland btw.
