- Samuel_Michon 13y agoHalf of the ‘countries’ on your list are UK territories and 5 out of 206 countries does hardly a norm make.

- Samuel_Michon 13y agoI find that interesting, as police officers in Northern Ireland (part of the UK) do carry firearms. I have to admit I know little about either Irelands, perhaps the situation in the Republic of Ireland is a lot less volatile.
