Strange you should mention it. Two years ago I was over in the US.
Nice country btw. Atleast the parts i visited. But I remember one message
we got at the most places. "Don't go out after dark, the chance to get mugged
is to big." This went for most of the cities. We did not visited the most
crime infested cities, like Washington, Miami and New York.

I don't exactly call that a free country. With the US floating over
of weapon, I guess the chance of getting shot with some really nasty ammo
was definatelly a possibility.

btw, Denmark and Sweden does not allow citizens to wear weapons
all over the place either. And I consider them better countries than
the USA, and yes they are free country.

Bows and arrows have two big disadvantages compared to guns (Handguns)
Guns are smaller, and more lethal (With some dum dum added) and bows ain't
capable of shooting out a lot of arrows with a high ROF.
