BBC bosses went the extra mile to ensure the safety of actress and comedian Diane Morgan during the filming of 'Cunk on Life' in Las Vegas. The security measures were put in place as a precautionary step due to an incident where Diane was almost attacked on set.

During filming, Diane found herself in a precarious situation when a drunken individual approached her aggressively. The quick actions of the security team prevented any harm from coming to the comedian, with Diane jokingly recounting the incident as a moment where she thought she might "get shot at."

The other user responding to you, Knightly, is IMO exaggerating the dangers quite a bit. While the US is certainly more dangerous than most of Europe, the risks of being harmed are still quite low if you're not involved in illicit activity or looking for trouble. Going by statistics, by far the most dangerous thing you can do while in the US is to simply drive in a car, and I imagine driving in Europe is similarly dangerous.

If you feel the need for something to defend yourself, a small can of pepper spray is generally very effective, quite affordable, and legal in all 50 states.

Then why do people need to own 50 guns?
