My guess is that in reality there are not very many people carrying guns in the villages. But maybe that is just my naiveté.

Depends not just on the concealer but also the handgun being concealed. North American Arms makes revolvers (.22, .22WMR) so small I can easily conceal them in the palm of my hand. Don't know how practical they'd be in a self-defense situation but if your life depended on it I suppose any gun is better than no gun. Ruger also makes some pretty concealable pistols: the Ruger LCP and LCP II ("Light Compact Pistol") which are both .380 caliber pistols that are pretty diminutive: the LCP II Lite-Rack weighs in at 11.2 oz. empty. Ruger also makes the LC9; a bit larger in 9mm but still pretty concealable.
A lot depends on the type of holster as well.
