The gun culture thing is something that I have never understood and to expand it by allowing drinkers in bars to carry a gun around is to me the height of lunacy. Drunk people are not rational and will likely the lose the plot at some point. To have a gun where only fists were before is going to lead to death instead of black eyes. It isn't the Wild West anymore, so it's a shame that the obsession with guns hasn't really evolved into anything more progressive and peaceful.
