(cutting down on quote length)

I see where you're coming from. In my case, I don't carry a gun, but then again I haven't seen any real violence where I live either (according to our PD, in my city there have been two violent crimes in the past 15 years, o.O). I do live in the middle of nowhere though, lol.

That said if you live in the middle of nowhere a tranquilizer gun for wild bears might be handy or a gun for alligators if nearby
I hear they do make a mean gumbo

Lol, it would be somewhat funny to see people running around with samurai swords slicing and dicing. I always forget what group it is but one of the 2000+ or so year old colonies used to carry swords and go from village to village killing for sport.

Also, where I live we do have coyotes and wild boars, although I haven't seen any of them alive. Oddly enough an actual city nearby is the one plagued by coyotes and such the most (probably related to the whole gun thing -- they are outlawed there -- so people can't defend themselves).

Out here there are no real laws, other than federal ones. Ex. we can shoot guns out in our yard or whatever we want, really. The downside is that we don't get city assistance with fixing up roads or cleaning up dead animals.

Well were not in Japan in the Feudal era so not much chance of seeing that but I do admit it would be entertaining watching people running around with samurai swords
Maybe in a zombie apocolypse (HOTD style) (That's almost a tradeoff he-he)
We are more likely to see some crazy person in a car ramming people like its GTA or some other types of psychological crime over there

On a side-note they do have a lot of police boxes in Japan for helping people by giving directions reporting ruffians, lost and found, quick access to emergency services etc that probably lowers the crime level a bit.
But like all countries they need to worry about corruption instead.

For some people a pet dog helps to protect from coyotes but the coyotes are mostly are worried about their territory, that said we have very few coyotes out here but some deer's elk and moose instead so not much to worry about on the predators side.
Most coyotes got owned long ago by good predation control measures to protect our cows that said they are resilient.

I guess a Spray can would work for the city folk
Nothing like aiming mace at a charging animal (Lover Quarrels included)
Just like playing darts don't miss and aim for the bulls eye Cheesy

And at least there is always roadside assistance if your car breaks down.
That said road repair and cleaning up dead animals sounds like something that would grow the economy and should be someones job
Infrastructure and maintenance gets ignored a lot

(On the bright side at least those google weather balloons will soon be able to track you worldwide live from the sky and provide you internet access where ever you go XD) Even in the middle of nowhere (Or north korea lol)
