It was not my intent to offend, but the circumstances in Rio de Janeiro being what they are (high income disparity, large slum districts with heavy entrenchment of the drug trade, honest work being few and far between) I would think it would be plenty of motivation for some "concerned citizens" to start carrying concealed firearms, or to launch a campaign to legalize such a measure if it isn't already legal. I still remember reading articles about how campaigns to legalize concealed carry on US University campuses arose in the wake of some college shootings, but the high-crime trend in Brazil has been going on for much longer than a a few isolated spree shootings.
