I've actually found that despite the prominence of guns in American culture, urban Canada and the urban US don't feel that different in terms of the feeling that guns or gun culture are all around you (unless an event happens involving a gun and is in the news). The difference seems more rural.

If I walk around most US big cities, be it New York, Boston, Denver, Californian cities etc. I don't get the feel like the average joe is more gun-obsessed than Torontonians, Vancouverites, Montrealers etc. On an intellectual level I know that the New Yorker is more likely to be packing heat than the Torontonian, but even if he or she has a gun somewhere in the car or stored in some cupboard, my default expectation is I'm not thinking or expecting a gun to be pulled out any given moment. Living and talking among urban Americans, guns don't come up any more in conversation than among urban Canadians, unless the issue itself is gun control and other related politics.
