Open carry of handguns is also allowed in nearly every state, it looks like it's not legal in 3 states.
Even open carry of long guns is allowed in nearly every state.
No it's not allowed "everywhere". Counties like mine won't issue and there are a lot of those counties. I shouldn't have to move across the State or Country to be able to CCW.
Inner city gang, and drug related crime make up most of the violent crime stats in the U.S. Yes, many, are Black, some are Hispanic, and some are White. If you want to avoid violent crime, stay out of the GHETTO.
Most large mass shootings don't happen in the ghetto.
We have by far the most guns of any country on Earth with the highest rates of gun ownership. We also have the overwhelming majority of gun deaths, especially of women and children on the planet.
The safest countries on Earth have lower gun ownership and heavy gun restriction.
Which should not be the case based on pro-gun talking points. We should be the safest in the world with so many people owning guns.
Why the contradiction?

The fact that there are so many ghettos in the US and that they're so violent still reflects on the country as a whole.
These are problems that need to be addressed, not swept under the rug.
