As Grady commented it has been a nice, civilized thread - despite the topic. Thanks for all your insightful posts. Much obliged!

I think my point was more of a general sensation of feeling completely safe all my life without any guns around. Different roots, historical heritage and culture. No value attached as such. Just different.

It would probably have sounded more strange if I started out claiming I had never owned or even been close to a mobile phone all my life..
