There's several concealed carry shall-issue and non-prohibitive may-issue nations in the EU including: Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and the Czech Republic. All of which have low per-capita firearm deaths relative the the United States. I think this is more related to the old school "wild west" image of Texas than anything else.

- ceejayoz 5y ago> There's several concealed carry shall-issue nations in the EU, including Poland, Estonia, and the Czech Republic. This is misleading. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overview_of_gun_laws_by_nation#Poland https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overview_of_gun_laws_by_nation... "Gun ownership in Poland is regulated and requires a permit to own or possess firearms. Permits are granted for specific purposes, such as self-defense, sports, hunting, collecting etc. and shall issue except the ones for self-defense, which may issue." Very, very different than Texas.
- trutannus 5y agoI've never mentioned that these nations would let you carry unlicensed. There's several on that list which will, after being licensed, let you carry. Estonia comes to mind. The objective here is not to mislead, however as neither a lawyer, nor a member of any of those nations, I will get it wrong in some spots.
