To be honest, I would think people in your neck of the woods are the opposite of trigger happy. To have the occasional rifle/shotgun in your house for hunting or safety against predatory animals reason, I can see that as a lifestyle of a certain gun ownership.
To have a gun in your house as protection though. To constantly being on the defensive if any baddies come breaking in and being ready at any and all times is the mentality that would make people trigger happy.
