No, people don't carry guns or wear them in the USA. Criminals and some young gang-bangers carry guns, but not most normal folks. Police detectives in street clothing are the only ones who do routinely.
If your job or personal circumstances require the need for a gun, you can apply to the state for a 'concealed carry' permit. This allows you to have your gun on your person without displaying it prominently. In most states, this is difficult to get except Texas where they are making it easier (apply and take a class?). I believe in my right to own and bear arms under the US Constitution, but I don't want to go anywhere so lawless that I would need to carry a gun. If we all carried guns, I believe this would be a peaceful society. 'Darwin Awards' would sort out all the nutters at an early age and they would be dead or in prison. Sorry to stir up such emotions... Regards, Bob S.
