    Dude, yeah, some people NOT in a major city, pretty much everywhere else in the country, have firearms lmao.

    It’s gotta be people commenting this shit who’ve grown up in a major metropolitan area and never traveled outside their safe zone (aka comfort zone), or in a very strict state in general, or outside the US entirely.

    My wife is a self defense instructor, she teaches basic handgun safety, women’s defense, and conceal carry, and covers more too. We’ve both inherited some family heirloom pieces dating back too the late 1800s, WWII, etc. While many may not function and are just for safe keeping and some family history (or like Curios and Relics), 12 is definitely not unheard of and probably on the low side for many families.

    It’s just that is not a subject you openly talk about with acquaintances or coworkers you aren’t comfortable around, so I’m sure that original commented would be in for a surprise to know how many people own and or carry one on a daily basis!
