Is it really 2014 already over there?

"We" don't carry guns. lol
I have a gun. It lives in my closet in case anyone ever breaks in.
From what I could see on Google there are approximately 6 million Americans with concealed weapons licenses. Most of them are law enforcement officers who carry a gun when off duty.
There are over 300 million people in the U.S.
So no, the vast majority of people here don't carry a gun like it's a cowboy movie.
As for "paying with a check". Yeah, if you're a company paying your bills.
But normal people? When I was a kid I remembered people carried around their wallet-sized checkbooks. These days? It's all credit and debit cards.
I think you might be generalizing and using cliches.
