Yes, but that's in America. I see it from a Dutch standpoint.
They are so paranoid of weapons, that it is virtually impossible to get a license, there are so many rules that you would go crazy, and even toy weapons (Airsoft) aren't allowed. And war-used-weapons are not allowed. (m16, Mp5)
Even if I get caught carring a Leatherman, I'm in trouble.
