Nah. I have friends from Honduras and El Salvador and those places have MUCH higher levels of violence than the US.

In my home country all the major malls and hotels have this. Violence is not common but over a decade a go there was attacks on some hotels and tourism took a hit. Since then security was upped and nothing has happened since.

I have worked all around the world and I have only seen police with rifles like this in hotels in the developing world (where they are very common). What is your home country?

Jordan its for sure a devoliping country some parts are very modern while other parts not so much. I think because its so normaized it doesnt make as worried (plus its pretty close to some natiobs at war) but seeing armed guards at tge malls here honestly worries me a tad.
