Sometimes the Stores ARE Museums

There are more museums in the United Stated than there are Starbucks and McDonalds combined.

But in many states and regions, gunstores outnumber museums.  And it follows areas with onerous regulation and less freedom having more museums.

The Mid Atlantic area has more museums, except in Pennsylvania where people are less likely to let someone tell then how to run their lives.  As opposed to a place like New Jersey.

New Englands has more museums.  Even in the more enlightened states up there.
