That was a real eye-opener for me of just how prevalent that culture is down there.

A couple of years ago the company I worked for brought in some guys from the Houston office for cross training. After talking a bit during some down time one guy asked me what kind of guns I owned, and when I explained that I don't own nor have ever owned a gun they both looked at me with absolute bewilderment. When the rest of the guys on the Calgary team also confirmed that none of them own any guns, they just shook their heads. It was a complete foreign concept to them for someone to not own a firearm
Sad end to the story is that one of those guys ended up committing suicide a few months later, with one of his guns of course
