Heres another canadian anecdote. One of my friends was at a session in Portland Oregon. The subject of guns came up so just out of curiousity they did a little straw poll as to who had a gun and it turns out he was the only one out of a group of 8 musicians who didnt have a gun. Of course Ive told this story to my american musician friends and they thought it was funny (like every american carries a gun). Petr.
