We had exactly the same thing up to about 1960 or so where I lived in Brooklyn, New York. There were also horse-drawn carts with guys selling vegetables and sharpening knives and scissors.

So I think it's fair to say it was the time, not the location.

Speaking of firearms....here's what happened when a US veteran and law student forgot he had a firearm in his trunk when crossing the border.

Victoria judge says he’s astonished by careless attitude in U.S. toward guns

We do have a large share of knuckleheads down here.
If he's that smart, he will have trouble with all kinds of things before he wises up.

Something similar happened to an fellow employee at MegaMotors. He was called to jump on the company plane on short notice and he forgot that he had a pistol in his carry on luggage. They found it when they scanned his luggage. Sympathetic management talked HR out of firing him and he got a slap in the wrist.
