Ha! Not too soon at all. :-)
Tell me again which city you are in...I'm thinking it's in the UK somewhere.
Concealed carry is completely illegal there? I've never quite understood that. You can carry a gun but it has to be 'brandished' or displayed openly? To me that seems to be a way to cause more anxiety or fear or panic or whatever is associated with guns. I'd much rather be left wondering if someone has one than seeing it in the open.
Also, that way I can pretend if I need to. I've got a good poker face. :-)
Canada actually! Just a couple hours north of the border. Even Toronto at over 5 million people and 20 years of living there downtown I have never experienced anything like this. Crazy!

Another Canadian was posting about Canada not having gun violence like the US. What do you think accounts for the difference?
That could probably be the subject of a thesis or 5 part documentary. Prison industry? Slavery legacy? Our colonial pacifist mindset? Smaller population density? Legalized weed? Who knows but it is night and day even though we share the same continent.

Yep! Here in the US we tend to identify gun laws (or lack thereof) as the reason. I'm sure it's not that simple.
Gun laws are not obeyed by criminals. That’s pretty simple. Such a deep and interesting topic!

Yep, I agree. :-)
