Misconceptions about Americans...

A while back I was talking to a guy from Australia. He was telling me about a trip of his to the States, he went to LA on business, he went on to say that he was totally shocked that he didn't see anyone with a gun. He was expecting to see guys walking around with a gun on their hip, John Wayne style. I thought that was pretty funny and not only assured him that walking around "packing" is illegal in most places without special permits but also that every person does not own a gun.

So I'll start it off, feel free to add anything you can think of...

1) Carrying a gun is pretty uncommon and typically illegal (with a few exceptions).

2) Not everyone owns a gun, most people in urban areas do not.

3) My bank has never offered me a gun for creating a new bank account.
