I don't own or carry any firearms, but firmly believe our society was a much
more civilized, congenial one back in the days when virtually everyone had a
six-shooter on their hip. For some reason it's a little more difficult to
be discourteous to someone when you know they're packing heat......

Don't know what proportion of your gun/camera-toting friends are American,
but might I hazard a guess that it's of the order of 100%? Guns and cameras
are very much not linked here in the UK! Apologies to gun evangelists, but
I definitely prefer living in a country where very few people own guns, and
the police still quaintly carry truncheons instead of pistols. I love
photography but I've got no desire to handle lethal weapons.
