Wearing a gun strapped on one's leg, covered by long pants, could make it hard to "see" the gun.
I suspect, that most kids in large cities carry knives for protection.
As a kid growing up in a major city, I carried a knife and I still do.
Be prepared!

I carried a knife for the value of being able to cut ( like a Boy Scout ).
For protection, since my arrival in Phoenix, Arizona several decades ago,
at the age of 8,
I armed myself with a 2 inch .38 revolver.
Some years later, I upgraded to a 2" .44 special revolver
loaded with hollowpointed slugs for better stopping power.
As it turned out, I never needed it in emergency circumstances.
The kids in my neighborhood enjoyed target shooting
with our rifles, pistols n revolvers.
We never had any trouble.
