Just because we can own guns, and many do...
very few actually carry them...

not only is getting your concealed weapons permit another background check, but without it, you cant go walking around legally with a gun tucked away. You can however legally walk around with a rifle/shotgun (anything with a barrel exceeding 18.5 inches) slung on your back, down the street, or in a park. You can also have a handgun holstered (not concealed) and legally walk around as-well. (as long as your following all laws)

Not too many do that though...
i have yet to see anyone do it in my lifetime unless it is a officer, or we are going shooting.
Thats state based for open carry. And you cant i guarantee carry a rifle or shottie around on your back in open carry unless hunting.
