I am 79, and I do not remember ever seeing a displayed gun in the houses of friends or family. I think that tradition had more to do wit location. I grew up and lived in Metro Philadelphia until I joined the Corps in 1960. The region was urban/suburban and not even remotely an area for outdoorsmen, hunters, etc. so while I know some had guns, I never saw them displayed. My Uncle was an avid hunter, but he kept his three long guns in a closet. But I have always liked the look of well displayed guns. I think if there were more guns displayed in homes there would be less people afraid of them.
