Well, that isn't exactly true. Some of the north eastern states have a pretty low incidence of gun ownership. Others, such as Vermont or Maine, have a fairly high incidence.
I live in Arizona which is pretty average in terms of ownership. Thing is, guns are not an everyday topic of conversation. I think that Europeans (including Brits) are more interested in the phenomenon than we are.
If I lived in America, I would want to live in an open carry state.......... I would want a double holster, with a silver plated 45 on each hip......... Plus jangling spurs.........
I'd walk in a bar, and order some red eye, and drink it down in one........ then look at the big guy next to me, slit my eyes, and say, "you got a problem with me pilgrim?"............
My second childhood can't be far off now..........
Someone has been watching too many cowboy films!
I think it would suit you... maybe a hat too, to go with it?
^ Even the first line of that report, is worrying in itself:
"With 88.8 guns per 100 residents, US has the highest gun ownership rate in the world."
Well, there are lies, damned lies and statistics.
That does not mean that 89 people out of a hundred has a gun. It means that some gun owners have multiple guns. The average gun ownership is around 31 out of a hundred. Still higher than most countries but much lower than that misleading statistic.
Not quite sure why you are worried unless you plan to live in the USA.

Yeah a stetson hat! I tried a few in a western gear shop in Las Vegas......... I couldn't find a ten gallon hat, to suit my five gallon head sadly...........

Yes, I did realise that. It's still a high number of guns, per 100 people, though.
I meant that it's a worrying statistic, in general - not that I'm planning to live there, or anything like that.

Now you are reminding me of JR, from Dallas!
