I'm going out to backpack around the world, but I'm honestly afraid of going to America.

There's too many guns in the hands of idiots. I fear that if I get in a single altercation with anyone, that they'll pull out a gun, shoot me, and then later claim self defense. I'm quite huge, and even people back home are intimidated by my size, which escalates any situation I'm in right away because they fear I'll squish their head in with my bare hands.

How safe is it to travel as a European in America?

Disclaimer: I'm not saying that all gun owners are idiots. Hunters, law enforcement, and sensible civilian carriers are of course not the ones I'm talking about.

You're an idiot if you think America is more dangerous than africa, south america, asia, or the middle east. Even europe is more dangerous now in the big cities. Just stay away from black areas and you're fine
>>
>>858184
>People actually believe this
The propaganda is real, huh?

Gun owners are a minority in most parts of the country, and most gun owners are perfectly reasonable people who dunt settle differences with violence. I've probably known literally hundreds of gun owners so far in my life, and I don't know any who have ever shot someone (outside of the military). You have nothing to worry about. Don't believe everything you see on TV about "how violent America is."

>>858184
>Backpack around the world
>Afraid of going to America

Not Mexico where you will be kidnapped for $30,000, or Africa where you will be robbed, raped and killed, Europe where refugees will behead you, the middle east where you will disappear forever, Brazil where you will have your throat cut for your phone, but America?

lol k.
>>
America as in murrica?
Yeah I'd be afreaid as well. But hey, that's the fun of it! To be honest, you're more likely to die out of your own stupidity.
>>
>>858209
half of Americans are gun owners, though it's true that in some areas they are a minority

I'm Canadian and I like travelling the USA because people are friendlier, at least the white people anyway.

the kind of extremely impulsive person that would just pull out a gun and murder someone isn't the kind of person who would be allowed to carry a gun. why would you have an altercation with a thug like that? that's bad news anywhere in the world.

you've been conditioned to think the USA is a warzone. visit them, you'll discover the truth
>>
>>858184
It's extremely safe.

For comparison, thinking you'll be shot in America is about as logical as me thinking I'll get shot by terrorists in France.

Honestly you'll most likely find that Americans tend to be annoyingly curious about other countries. Be prepared for a lot of comments about your accent and a lot of questions about how you like it in America.

I always tell people that Americans are like big friendly dogs: they're great, but can be a bit much sometimes.

>>858184
You're a fucking disgrace, I bet you're also scared about the "rise of far right" in Europe too. Get a grip, legit gun owners with ccw will not shoot you for no reason or just because you're a big guy.

50% gun owners in the US, 40% in switzerland, 30 % in austria, which are european countries, are you afraid to hike there? No, because it is not a problem with guns, but with negroes, which those two countries in europe donĀ“t have.

Just bypass us - we won't miss another Eurofag.
Go to Canada or Mexico instead.

>>861043
there's nothing idiotic about it. that's how the U.S is portrayed to us Eurofags. it's not a condemnation, you don't have to take it personally. If I was travelling to the US it's about the only thing that would concern me too.
What's wrong with asking a question about it.
>>858642
is a more balanced approach. From half of the replies here it sounds as though you're a bunch of dangerous loonies who DO overreact to the slightest thing and MIGHT pull a gun on an unsuspecting eurofag.
>>
>>858184
Holy shit you are retarded. Stay away from non white areas and you'll be fine.

See movie "Long Way Round". And they had BMW motorcycles with two support trucks. All the prep they had to do.
How will you get from point A to point B? Bus? Hitchhike? If you're planning on hitchhiking you're signing a death warrant.
Get your shots.
Has anyone done this since the '70s?

Dude wtf? Nobody shoots a backpacker. Also, look at the stats. The only people shooting are niggers killings niggers. America is safe for whites as long as you don't backpack in the hood.
>>
>>861049
There's only around 2000 gun homocides in the US annually, the other 8000 is typically gang violence so just stay away from the poor areas and you'll be fine
>>
>>861049
because if you are hiking out in the middle of nowhere why would someone shoot you when they can gut you with a knife without any noise? you're just a fucking moron that has an irrational fear of inanimate objects.

oh well, more BBQ for the rest of us

>>858184
You are more likely to get shot by the police then a citizen.

Maybe you should start on questioning the "knowledge" you think you have.

yeah, except that's exactly what he's doing. You know, coming onto a board where there's some Americans and asking a question about it. Questioning the 'knowledge' shoved down our throats by european media outlets. Why so salty?
>>
>>861049
>that's how the U.S is portrayed to us Eurofags.
Did not know that. Here in the States, it's Europe being portrayed poorly by the media with "radical Islam spreading like wildfire" bullshit.

>>
don't act like you're someone and you'll leave that way perhaps.

just watch out for foreign laws so you don't screw yourself over with something petty,
i wouldn't be overly worried about guns unless you're going to make a scene for people to want to shoot you.

other than that you are at the average percent of death no matter what caution.

What??
I've backpacked America and had only friendly people who want to help come into contact with me. Granted you might get some dirty looks in California due to the fact that a lot of people there don't know the difference between a backpacker and a homeless person. But if you only go to towns/cities to stock up you'll be absolutely fine.

Most of our crime happens in small parts of certain cities.
I think it's something like 80% of violent crime that happens in Chicago happens in like 4% of the city.
This is just an example but basically if you just don't go to the ghetto you will be fine.
Being European will be interesting to most locals you meet and I'm sure you will find that most people you talk to will be very friendly.
Just don't go to places like LA and Compton and shit.

I've travelled to Virginia a few times and was always safe. I've been "threatened" two or three times, but it was more of a casual threat, like "hey I like you and all, but no I won't let you stay at my house, and if I see you on my property I'll shoot you with my shotgun"
A joke, really. You should probably just sleep at a motel.

Amazing counter arguments.
>>
>>858184
City: Don't go to ghettos or the bad parts of the city (depending on the area, you might be able to go during the day, but never at night).

Country: Don't trespass. Don't trespass. "I can camp here." "That's a neat photo opportunity." No you can't, don't trespass. Private property laws in the U.S. are not like they are in quite a bit of Europe. Don't plan on going on any private property... ever. Sometimes you can ask permission, but there are plenty of parks (local, state, and national), and other areas to see, so you don't need to ask permission to be on private land unless you have a very good reason. Don't approach a house that looks like a drug refuge or Jim Bob's deep in the woods where they don't get much traffic. Otherwise you should be perfectly fine. Just remember, property rights are different and just plan on never going on private property without express permission (and don't plan on wasting time asking permission, just go somewhere public). Never ever ever ever trespass.
>>

Not allowed to carry a gun, lol.

As long as you dont come off as a vulnerable white boy with no common sense then you should be fine.

Not to be rascist but he's right. If u are white stay out of the shitty parts of big cities. You're good if you stay south of the mason/dixon where the real americans live. Its not as bad as people make it out to be. Ive drove a truck all over america. Theres not much chance of a gunfight when everyone knows knows your packing.

You can get a good tazer for defense if u wanna. My buddy is a proffessional fighter. Said the worst pain he been in was being tazed from some 90 pound bitch. Lol. Some dude tried to start a fight and accidently falcon pumch the bitch next to him. All he heard was yelling and saw her down. He comenced to beat the fuck out of 3 guys and then get a million volts in his ass.

I live in California a strict gun law state so the only time I see firearms were on cops.

Not sure about the other states as I have seen youtube videos of idiots open carrying rifles. They even carried them into stores and even a police station wearing tactical gear.

It's safe here. The only really dangerous parts are poorer areas in very large cities. A lot of gang related violence stays within/between gangs, there's not a whole lot of muggings and the like in anywhere that can be described as not shitty. Don't leave your stuff unattended in public anywhere.

You will likely not even get into an altercation with a single person, even if you make a ruckus at a bar. We definitely have more of a "leave me the fuck alone" culture here than other countries. People that are legally concealing a firearm are also the least likely people to shoot you, oddly enough. Every concealed carry class pretty much drills into you that if you are carrying, you have to be nicer to everybody because now they have a legal leg-up on you by saying "we..well... HE HAD A GUN! He was intimidating me!" if you so much as call them a bad name.

If you see a tacticool mallninja in an open carry state, just avoid them. Not because they may shoot you but because they're 99% likely to be an autistic man-baby that you really don't want to get stuck talking to about anything.

Do you plan on hiking any public parks or publicly managed land? If so, I would double check which places allow hunting and what manner of hunting will be taking place during your visit. Typically, hunting seasons are divided into times for bow hunters and firearm hunters to minimize problems. If it is a hunting season, you will probably see somebody hunting if you are in a game area, it's a good idea to greet them, give them an idea of where you plan on being in the area and they'll likely tell you where they will be so you can avoid getting in each other's ways.

If you are backpacking through the cities, like I said, avoid the bad areas, they will be obvious with run down buildings, crappy homes, abandoned businesses and such. Really, everybody fucking drives, if you're on foot, the thing that is most likely to kill you is some dumbass not watching the road.
>>
It's not the guns you need fear, it's the dumb ass Amerifats.
>>
Even in huge cities, even at night, as long as there's a handful of normal people doing things in an area, it's absolutely safe.

Don't trespass if you see a sign saying "don't trespass." As far as getting shot goes, trespassing on private property is pretty high up on the list of things that will lead to that. We are very protective of private property.

Pretty much like any other developed nation: if you aren't a dick, you will either be treated well or at least left alone.

A small side note: If you plan on going to Alaska, their suicide rate skews their intentional homicide numbers because it's so damn high. Try not to get depressed and kill yourself.

Australian who's been to the US several times here. No one's ever pulled a gun on me. Have you ever traveled before? If so, just use that common sense you've acquired. For some reason people leave their country for the first time and do things in foreign countries they'd never be stupid enough to do in their own country like fall for obvious shell game scams. Don't take risks you wouldn't take in your country and you'll be fine.

Gun crime is going down all over the western world, US included. You're being fed propaganda about mass shootings, but the amount of people who actually die in mass shootings is so low as to be practically zero. There's virtually no chance you will be shot that way.
>>
If you're doing anything /out/ related, >>858642 is correct. Outside the big cities gun crime is nonexistent and people will just be curious because of your accent

Without black people, our per capita violent crime rate would equal Belgium's, and our per capita gun ownership rate would actually increase.

Niggers are the problem. Just like in Haiti. Just like in South Africa. Just like everywhere niggers are. So just avoid niggers and you'll be at least as safe as if you were backpacking through Belgium.

Oh, and stop believing your media's un-informed propaganda.

For a more serious answer than these people. If you're backpacking you won't need to worry. Backpacking is in nature so unless you plan on going through someone's private property without their permission, you should be fine.
