Licensed public carry, as I understand it, is very much an American thing. Even Switzerland, which arguably has more permissive gun laws than some US states, doesn’t permit carry. Czechia is the only other country I know of with CCW licensing.As a bit of a side tangent, I was somewhat surprised to learn that Israel has such strict gun laws. They are a security state so I guess it makes sense. As a gun loving American I just can't imagine living miles away from Gaza and not having a rifle. Guns at least would have given those civilians in their homes a chance.
