@Otuk@mastodon.technology I live in the netherlands right now, but I have a house in america too (where i do one one gun). I never "felt the need to walk around with one". I have one in the one in a million chance it is needed but I expect the chance of me needing it to be very small.

I, like the vast majority of gun owners, own it to go shooting as a sport in a safe environment. Others use it to hunt. Protection is usually a secondary or tertiary concern for most owners.
