I would hate to think that the "average American" was something created by Hollywood --- not a very good image. You know even the Western movies about gunslingers where two guys face off against each other is mostly fabrication. They weren't that noble and brave in general --- but it is something that most Americans wish was true. Historically, the South was pretty violent and people say that's where Southern politeness and courtesy comes from -- if you know everybody is packing a gun then you better be nice. Even today you rarely see grown men in the South yell at each other or use derogatory language --- without altercation. But rest assure most Americans are good freedom loving people and gun ownership is just part of the package deal --- comes with territory.
