If you care, you can search and see in states like Florida and Texas, when CCW permits were issued murder rates dropped. "According to a comprehensive study which reviewed crime statistics in every county in the United States from 1977 to 1992, states that passed concealed carry law reduced their rate of murder by 8.5%, rape by 5%, aggravated assault by 7%, and robbery by 3%." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/chris-barron/concealed-carry-if-youre_b_213912.html And Finland's population is very different from that of the US but your point regarding them is valid.
