When the probability of the suspect carrying a gun is very low, you are not that motivated to use yours. > (many countries have heavy hunting population, and people will use shotguns, close themselves in their house if they're accused, etc). That's completely different. You can't really hide your hunting weapon in your jacket. People don't walk around with their weapons in the town. The culture is completely different. Even in a country where many people do own weapons (Switzerland) it's very rare that someone would use them for crime.
