The thing is, if someone is seen with any kind of a firearm in a place that they are not supposed to have one (in Canada), the police get called. It's beyond cartoonish in the minds of people that a regular joe could just be wandering around packing heat. The only other countries where you see that are active warzones, or places where the government has militarily lost control.

The fact that wandering around with a gun in public is so normalized in the US is probably why mass shooters can move in on their targets with such ease and lack of scrutiny until it’s too late. The easiest first step is banning open carry.
