I was in Britain earlier this year and I really had no problems in discussion until it came to guns and knives. They really couldn't grasp why you would want to carry any type of weapon mainly for two reasons. One, the stupid reason that someone could take it from you and use it against you and two, they were afraid that a gun could go off by accident and kill some one. I decided that they felt like they had no control over any thing that they did. Otherwise the people were marvelous an friendly in every way to me. Those 6 good looking chicks must have been following me because London was just eat up with some hot babes!!
