Different culture as regards firearms, but wasn't it more a carryover of British rule.

By different culture, I learned to shoot in my upper single digits, over 60 years ago. And while I've no doubt you're capable with one pistol, I am too. Except I'd have to choose which one. I guess that's what I mean by a different culture. It's a sport and a hobby. I doubt the number of weapons is the same as in Texas, the amount you can use at one time, perhaps. I often comment on the absurdity of projecting values over centuries, but not much different across even friendly cultures. The other side, the number of weapons carried openly in Israel, liberals by the tens of thousands would need smelling salts here. That's really not seen much, especially in urban areas.

Israelis carrying openly are soldiers or reservists, especially the IDF bikini girls as noted. For civilians, it’s like UK, Germany, or France. Right of self defense is almost nonexistent. Why, killing a Muslim who is trying to kill you is automatically a hate crime.
