Quoted By:
I'm going out to backpack around the world, but I'm honestly afraid of going to America.
There's too many guns in the hands of idiots. I fear that if I get in a single altercation with anyone, that they'll pull out a gun, shoot me, and then later claim self defense. I'm quite huge, and even people back home are intimidated by my size, which escalates any situation I'm in right away because they fear I'll squish their head in with my bare hands.
How safe is it to travel as a European in America?
Disclaimer: I'm not saying that all gun owners are idiots. Hunters, law enforcement, and sensible civilian carriers are of course not the ones I'm talking about.
