There are weapons everywhere in the UK. Fewer guns doesn't mean entirely disarmed.

Whut? You know there's a lot of myth to that. In the UK 'violence' is classified differently and they keep better crime stats than we do.

Honestly, would you rather (a) get into a shoving match or possible fisticuffs outside a pub (b) get shot to death for being in the wrong place at the wrong time? THAT is the difference between the UK and US in terms of crime. Also, in the UK you have to go to specific areas to encounter violence on the streets -- seek it out. Here, damn near anywhere can erupt in violence at any time. Now they do have a problem with youth violence in that clubs and the occasional knife are used to rob people and more rarely beat someone up but I'd take that over a typical American teen.

So you dont see why they are different as far protocol on carrying a gun? or the difference between a non-firearm weapon and a firearm?
