No. It's not uncommon in rough parts of town in major cities, but it's also not something that most people will encounter, especially if they're not in the really bad parts of town.

Yup, I'm kinda old and never seen anything like this. The closest I've seen is a dude open carrying a gun shopping at a grocery store just talking with his wife.

Nothing ever happens to the average person...

I've had knives pulled on me a couple times, and a gun one time. I also had a crazy Nazi tweaker threaten me with a homemade hatchet. But I grew up on the wrong side of the tracks, and continued associating with a lot of the wrong people into young adulthood. The first half of my life was very far from average. What's interesting is that those experiences never really leave you. I live in an extremely safe area now, but I'm still hyper aware of my environment when I'm out, and I spot potential threats long before my friends are aware of anything sketchy.
