>Towards anybody, there is no possibility of the police being called on you while strolling through any random neighborhood and no possibility of that escalating into danger if they were I attribute this to gun ownership. Police in most of Europe don't worry about anyone caring a gun, so their physical reactions are much less severe. >“but look at the violent crime stats, LE has to assume everyone that looks like that has a dangerous weapon” After Hitler used very detailed census data to single out certain groups, Europe is very sensitive about collecting them. I remember a debate in Slovakia a decade or so ago, where they were talking about guessing a race and people were strongly against it (never passed). >More likely you’ll wind up in a society where everyone ignores each other by default anyway and that’s great, leaving only the endearing things to experience. Interestingly enough, I never felt this way while living in Europe. People are still engaged and quite caring but also keep their distance. Europe is far from perfect, but there are parts I miss greatly.
