It's pretty common, I think only Ireland and Britain (among countries that people are likely to visit) don't carry guns.

In fact, what's unusual is that in many places where civilian use of guns is extremely rare, police standing around with submachine guns in airports, train stations, etc. is common.

I was thinking of British TV when I posted that so not too surprising if its mostly a thing there.
