Being Canadian, I’m not really into firearms. And yes, I have fired various rifles and have even been handed down a BB gun. But I’m not into guns and I certainly do not travel with them. I am aware that Americans take their right to bear arms quite seriously, yet I couldn’t help but feel twinges of culture shock in Las Vegas upon some of the various gun-related sights. For example, check out this mini-van cab:

And I always thought mini-vans were family vehicles. Maybe ‘try one’ is an experience for the whole family in the United States?

Then again, maybe guns and travel go together:

Or…maybe not.

Even Penn and Teller involved guns in their show, which may have (and strangely enough) resulted in this poster–hopefully is tongue in cheek:

And lastly, this sign worried me a bit (I mean, if they have to put up a sign because they AREN’T allowed here, they must have a problem with people bringing them in…which leads me to question…where exactly ARE they allowed to hang with their firearms?):
