Right, and I get that. But compared to all you've said and what I've heard of other countries in this category, we don't run those risks--especially for foreigners. I've been here, living and traveling for quite enough time to know how things are and I can safely say that the warning isn't quite accurate. I've heard more gun shots in US streets than I've ever heard down here in roughly the same length of time.
So unless I can find a source that explains this, I wouldn't trust this map too much.
And Sweden? Exercise caution: Systembolaget closes early in Saturdays?
Funny coincidence to read this now as yesterday I went into a shop here in Sweden and a tourist was asking about beer, the cashier had a hard time explaining how it works here with Systembolaget. I ended up sitting down with him on a bench outside the shop and explaining as best I could, in the end he was actually pretty positive about how it works here.
