Did a school exchange with Serbia once (am German myself). The abundance of guns was jarring, I was welcomed to a night club by a couple armed bouncers, one of them open carrying a fucking ak-47.

Those mfs thought it hilarious to put a gun in my jacket during the security check, it was totally surreal being yelled at and held at gun point, even though they were just fucking with me.

open carrying a fucking ak-47

now I'd love to know how to conceal-carry an AK47.

"Is that an AK in your pants or are you just happy to see me?"
