    Did a school exchange with Serbia once (am German myself). The abundance of guns was jarring, I was welcomed to a night club by a couple armed bouncers, one of them open carrying a fucking ak-47.

    Those mfs thought it hilarious to put a gun in my jacket during the security check, it was totally surreal being yelled at and held at gun point, even though they were just fucking with me.

      open carrying a fucking ak-47

      now I’d love to know how to conceal-carry an AK47.

      “Is that an AK in your pants or are you just happy to see me?”

            That I actually did know, but thank you for the context!

            Just that I called it open carry when I meant openly, as in its totally normalized that a disco bouncer has a fucking assault rifle

              I remember after 9/11 I took a flight out of Minneapolis and there were security/police/whatever with automatic rifles. Pretty surprising as I’d never seen anything like that in the US.

                I’m from the US and it freaks me out all the damn time. If it’s supposed me feel any safer, it doesn’t — AT ALL!
