India. Very strict gun laws. This law is enforced in the part of India that I live in. The only gunshots that I've heard in my life are from movies and video games. However, I did hold a gun in my hand once hehe. One of my friends' dads had a gun license for some reason (I think he was a top level policeman or something). It was an unloaded black revolver that he was showing off to us kids lol. I remember being surprised at how much heavier it was than I thought it to be.
HOWEVER, in northern India (especially Uttar Pradesh), illegal guns are a very real thing. The law is very poorly enforced there. So yeah.... There's that.
