I think handguns in the US has shown that it doesn't work.
- SoftTalker 7mo agoWell at the risk of making a "hasn't been tried" argument, the vast majority of people in the US don't walk around with guns.
- AndriyKunitsyn 7mo agoWhy not? The friendliest people in the US are exactly in the open carry states. NYC on the other hand has the biggest number of jerks per capita I ever seen. (No offence to all nice people from NYC, which there are still plenty.)
- cortesoft 7mo agoThis really depends on what you look like. Open carry states can be very unfriendly if you look a certain way.
- AndriyKunitsyn 7mo agoOK, can't argue with that. I have no first-hand experience on this, you are probably right.
- aidenn0 6mo agoMy personal experience is that LA has NYC beat on a per-capita basis (and possibly an absolute numbers basis; it has roughly half the population, so it would only need to be double per-capita to "win").
