In many US states you can assume that people you walk past may well have a handgun under his jacket or in her purse.
> In fact, I met much more people with firearms in public in Israel.
In Israel 1) conscripts don't keep their weapons loaded (you can often see the ammo kept hanging separately outside), and 2) anyone with a weapon has received strict training on weapon safety. Gun ownership in Israel is not really comparable to the USA.

Where I live I think most people have a gun or two at home, and I do too, but I've never personally met someone who carries them around on the street. (For one thing, I've tried those conceal carry holsters, and found them extremely uncomfortable.) The only time my guns are out is for hunting, or going to the range with friends.

You would never know it, because it is concealed and they won't go around talking about it, but its relatively common. Also, I'm in a pretty liberal state so I imagine its even more common in conservative areas
