@Jaden3 in France, few people own and carry guns. We may have a rising knife carrying problem, but it's not even sure. Violent crime exists however, most of the time linked to drug trafficking (and to politics historically, during the '70s for example).
What I mean is that gun-carrying is quite foreign to some other cultures outside of the US. Most european people (including me) would in fact be uncomfortable around any gun-carrying person. I understand your point however. Cultural differences.
