To be fair, can you even "open carry" a firearm anywhere in Europe? Isn't the UK trying to ban pointy kitchen knives[1]?

- littlestymaar 9mo agoWith the appropriate permit, yes. Which is also the case in Minnesota. (The permit requirements differ a lot between countries, but that an implementation detail, you should not be killed while respecting the law)
- ben_w 9mo agoI believe kitchen knives, without good reason (being a chef is a good reason, have just bought it ditto), are already banned in public in UK. Still, UK does have a firearms licensing process; I doubt anyone at any protest would be allowed one, but the response of UK police only escalates to "pin to ground then shoot in head" when they've mistaken you for a suicide bomber wearing an explosive vest and expect you to blow yourself up in a crowded subway train (which has happened! I don't excuse this! But this is still less stupid than claiming someone is armed after removing their weapon).
