The Community I live in is Pro-Gun. The Sheriff here has said that local law abiding gun owners are the "first" line of defence against crime and violence.
We have no police department, and our Sheriff officers cover over 1400 square miles, much of that is rugged terrain and mountains that include the wilderness in and around Yosemite Nat Park that require 4WD to get into and out of.
It is very common to see high powered rifles on gun racks in the back of pickup trucks, Ranchers riding horses wearing sidearms and carrying rifles.
We often see Brown Bears, Mountain Lions, Rattlesnakes, you name it.
Yes you might say we have a few "rednecks" up here, but just try to come up here and tell families that have lived here for generations they need to put down their firearms.
Better put on your cast iron underwear.
You're going to need it.
