Well you British are crazy, when even the Police doesn't carry firearms.
It's a bit odd that Finland is neighboring the Garden of Eden when it comes to illegal and loose guns, but we don't really have much gun violence or illegal guns at all.

Well, we're not quite as murderous or prone to school shootings as you guys, so I don't think we're too crazy.
It's better for everyone that our Police walk the streets unarmed IMO. The gun crime in the US is absolutely ridiculous. It was bad enough when I was getting shot at in Iraq and Afghan. I couldn't imagine coming home and hearing about people getting shot everyday too!
Our police have besides their pistols a backup weapon in the van, either an SMG or an assault rifle. So if someone threatens something with a firearm, the police can always be certain to outgun them. But they don't use them very often, I remember one or two incidents from last year when the police needed to use "heavy" weapons.
An IDIOTIC high school girl cut me off on the freeway while driving in snow . I had to slam on the breaks in ice and almost slipped off the road. Thankfully, my Mazda has anti slip snow tires from Sapporo Japan, so I stayed on track even after breaking hard.

The other day it was wet, and I was on the freeway onramp and goosed the gas. Almost friggin stacked it. This was a 1998 Ford station wagon, no fancy tires or traction control or anything.
Soo... I visited a relative who currently lives in some sort of a rest home out in the boondocks. Decided to head to the nearest town by car. There I drove into an underground parking garage and decided to park it in the smallest spot available, and in forward gear with that. Unsurprisingly, I hit a pillar, which resulted in small scratches on the flank of the car. When I finally managed to find a proper spot, I got out and returned 2 hours after, to realize that I had lost the parking ticket. I had to pay €38 for 2 hours. When I finally got out of the damned garage, heading home I wanted to take a shortcut. The GPS threw me on a side road that turned unpaved after a few dozen meters. Before finding a spot to make a U-turn, I got stuck in mud. Of course, it was at night and it was raining. I spent maybe half an hour trying to de-stuck the car. What an epic fail of a day.
