Ah, if that’s what you meant you’re absolutely right. I think there’s only one country in Europe where they have some (rather limited) form of carry by the public (Czech Republic if I’m not mistaken)
Yes, and as far as I know so do the UK (even air rifles are rather restricted there) and Singapore. There will undoubtedly be others, but I’d be surprised if that’s anywhere near a majority (if you consider strict gun laws to be the ones that make it very hard for people to legally own firearms).
I wouldn’t go as far as saying a total van is totally normal everywhere else, because I don’t know many countries with such a ban. I don’t know many other countries with concealed or open carry laws, so that’s certainly a difference.
Countries like Switzerland and Germany prove that private gun ownership can go hand in hand with regulation and enforcement, and not cause as many casualties as in the US.
Sorry, I somehow failed to notice the [she/her]. Didn’t mean to offend.
Perfect stairs to your man cave 🙂
Of course the metal can support a person. It’s not like one side is floating in thin air. The way this is constructed, both sides of each step are supported and the metal seems thick enough to support quite a bit of weight.
The only thing that bothers me is that forward/backward motion of the steps would put a lot of strain on the connection to the wall or floor. With normal use, that motion is quite limited though.
I’m quite confident the designer of those stairs used the right thickness for the material used, which you can’t judge from a picture.
Press “no tip” and sue them for hearing damage…
Seriously though, as a non American I only tip when the service or food was exceptionally good for the given establishment. People do however get paid a decent salary here, so tipping is optional.
