    I don’t think Americans quite appreciate how few guns one encounters when you are practically anywhere else in the world.

    How often you see guns varies wildly in the US too.

      Yeah I haven’t seen many guns ‘in the open’ outside the range when I was visiting.

      Yours is a very big and diverse county and it’s hard to generalize. But usually cultural generalizations are somewhat cute and folksy, like French cheese and Chinese chopsticks.

      Guns aren’t endearing though, and they stick out like a sorethumb.
