It is the duty of a state (Government) to protect its citizens. In our case the government is failing dismally. Laws are ineffective due to (some) corrupt policemen and politicians.
We often read about prisoners escaping or criminals going free on a technicality. Police are not well trained and sometimes mess up crime scenes so that evidence is destroyed. Criminals (including organised crime) know that the statistics are in their favour and the chances of getting caught is slim. If they do get caught, the conviction rate is low due to a weak legal system.
I have been fortunate that I have not been a victim of serious crime. I do not want to carry a gun, but I can understand why some people feel that they should go to extremes to protect their families. If the State did their duty, we would not have to live in a war zone.
