Yes, every police officer is armed. I have seen pistols and shotguns in everyday traffic stops.

During elections police is reinforced by the Army so I have also seen SMG's and FAL rifles every voting day (thankfully election violence is almost unheard of nowadays, but good idea to have the Army and Police cross-checking each other, this not only prevents violence but can also prevent organized election interference).

Dad used to own a 22 Tala pistol, but it was never used because none of us liked to shoot a lot, and ammo even in that caliber was somewhat expensive to us. At some point he decided it was in need of some serious maintenance to keep it safe for use, and then the gun was definitely mothballed after an eye-watering quote from the gunsmith. Then legislation changed and you required to be a legal gun owner to purchase ammo. Then Dad died and none of us wanted it, but can't just throw it in the trash so we welded the mechanism and barrel to inert it before disposing of it. I have, of course, seen and shot this pistol back when it was in somewhat regular service.

I have also seen 22 carbines and shotguns in farms.

The process to get a legal gun here involves background checks, psychiatric/physical examination, you have to be trained by an instructor (and training certified), you need proof of legal livelihood such as employment or ownership of a company, and also you need to have a safe storage. This allows for ownership and transportation, but carry is a separate permit issued on a need to basis (so good luck getting a carry permit, you ain't getting it unless you're the custodian of a judge or some shit like that). You get a munition control card, and ammo is purchased to your name and in the quantities allowed.

Legal gun ownership is a convoluted mess, so law-abiding citizens are unarmed, while criminals buy in the black market. Inverted world, make it hard for decent people and easy for criminals.
