Like I said you only have black bears which almost never approach humans, moose which never attack unless purposfuly agitated and you have no highly posienous snakes what so ever                                                                                                                               

Also umm I'm not sure what the cops in your town are like but yes the cop does have a duty to protect you. Every country in Europe has pretty much banned guns for civilians. According to you these places should be overrun by criminals, rapist and murderers pointing guns in peoples faces and doing whatever they want. So why are European countries far safer than America then?

Cops have no duty to protect people.  Cops are around to protect government workers, government property, solve crimes and deter crimes, at least where I live.  However, cops also don't have a duty to protect government workers.  It is your duty to protect yourself if you want protection.

Here are a few sources:
