And, well, despite being fundamentally the same people all over the world (globalization ftw), there are things that are quite different from USA to Europe. Well, actually as far as I have seen, quite a lot. People would be shocked by something you might consider "normal".

Well, actually as far as I have seen, quite a lot. People would be shocked by something you might consider "normal". Yup even seeing cops walking around with fire arms in public is quite shocking to someone from New Zealand. Yeah we see the odd officer with an automatic rifles from time to time as certain gang related crime sceens but that isn't exactly common or as intimidating as the common handgun.
Not really sure for the rest of europe, but in Italy it would also be quite shocking: policemen, carabinieri, guardia di finanza etc. must all have their handguns into the holster, the magazine must not be in the handgun and the safety catch must be on. Also police forces cannot, for any reason, shoot unless there's someone already shooting at them, meaning that they can't even point a gun at you if you don't have a gun in hands.
Oh, one thing might be curious: there are many things that are considered cold weapons (which are illegal, btw):even a swiss knife with a blade longer than x centimeters (actually I can't remember how many  )or even a baseball bat might, for example, be considered a "strumento atto a offendere". Even the pepper spray is illegal if it exceed 20 ml of pepper oil  .
