I'm shocked. I guess Americans are more likely to carry weaponry, I don't know a single person in my life who carries a gun on them.

Up north, my brother, his family and all of his neighbors think its weird...
Age, location, etc...lots of factors.

Exactly what I was going to say. Location has so much to do with it, but I don't know as many people as young as me (21) who carry.

That's a pretty offensive picture I've painted in my head. lol
Yes, that's quite offensive. LOL! I think you can probably tell from my picture (go to Twitter in my signature and blow it up to see it better) that I'm not a redneck and I don't wear overalls. I also live in Virginia though, which is hardly the deep south. I don't associate with any person who even vaguely fit your description, but I also don't know many people like that. Another reason I carry though is because of the way I was raised. I come from a family of cops and my dad took me to the shooting range instead of the park as a kid, so that definitely had a lot to do with it. I've had guns all my life but I just got my Glock last Christmas (of 2009). My friends also appreciate the fact that I carry, especially if we're in a bad area or something - it's a safety blanket for them.
