It can be, though, but it depends. Being armed to go for a walk at night is sensible if you are in Rio or San Fernando (definitely the case in the latter), but if the average citizen risks death by going out (enough so that being armed is not paranoid but pragmatic) then there is something wrong with that society. If you're armed as the nearest cops are 45 minutes hard driving away, well, that isn't as 'damning' to society as a whole.
