Yeah I think it’s possible to live in the US and not encounter guns. It’s mostly driven by people’s interest and the interests of those around them. There is no obligation to be near or interact with firearms in the US. There are certainly a lot of guns in the US and that does lead to more homicides and shootings, but I don’t think it means everyone sees guns regularly in their daily life. If someone displays a firearm in public, people will not be casual about it.
Yeah I haven’t seen many guns ‘in the open’ outside the range when I was visiting.
Yours is a very big and diverse county and it’s hard to generalize. But usually cultural generalizations are somewhat cute and folksy, like French cheese and Chinese chopsticks.
Guns aren’t endearing though, and they stick out like a sorethumb.
How often you see guns varies wildly in the US too.
