I lived in Ecuador. You see armed security guards (NOT cops, just security guards) standing in front of clothing shops holding semi-automatic rifles that are hung over their shoulders. And they're there just to make sure no one steals shit (more likely so that there isn't any large-scale robbery by a gang).I've been to hotels in the middle East that have body scanners when you go inside. And armed security out front. It's kinda weird
You get used to it after a while as crazy as that sounds, but at first I was like holy fuck.
