Yes, I do live in a country where owning anything other than a shotgun is more or less always going to be illegal, and owning a shotgun isnt easy.

Criminals do still have guns, and Ive not been entirely sheltered from dealing with them. However, the number of criminals who have them would be significantly lower than in the US.

My original response however, was to refute the idea that if you live in a rough area it just makes sense to have a gun. Nothing was said about it being in the US, though I still think that the issue there isnt that the criminals have guns, its that your police officers arent up to the task of dealing with that situation.

Okay? I dont disagree about the police but at this point it is what it is. So people in that situation have two choices, try to make sure they can protect themselves since the police are not reliable, or just hope they never end up being a victim of a crime that requires defending themselves. Given the options its more practical to at least be prepared to defend themselves.
