But lighter... In The UK, it is only criminals and a very few specialist police who carry guns on the street.

Hence a far safer, saner place.

Those who need them for target sport in licensed premises or hunting in controlled areas / agricultural pest control don't carry them in the street.

I don't know why Hollywood is obsessed with wild west as something different to now, I don't feel safe when in the Dumbfuckistan states or even the safer parts of USA.
