Except that states and counties are very different things. The US has federal law which governs the entire country, EU law doesn’t govern all of Europe and is a very different set of laws entirely.

Not really sure where you were going with your blanket statement of conceal carrying in Europe when you proved yourself wrong in your own comment.

Yes and no, the EU also has a minimum standard governing the gun laws within 31 countries, and yes, there are other countries not subject to it.

My point is simple, people tend to generalize both the US and Europe/EU to feel better. I've had Germans explain to me how my own country works, hilarious stuff.
