Yes, but that's in America. I see it from a Dutch standpoint.
They are so paranoid of weapons, that it is virtually impossible to get a license, there are so many rules that you would go crazy, and even toy weapons (Airsoft) aren't allowed. And war-used-weapons are not allowed. (m16, Mp5)
Even if I get caught carring a Leatherman, I'm in trouble.

Of course I respect your opinion. And although we might not agree on this topic, maybe on other ones we do.
I certainly hope so..... <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

If events forced me to BO from my home and then have to abandone my vehicle , that would probably mean that the s has truly htf . Although you may never need to protect yourself or hunt with a firearm . This is all about being prepared . There are many people " good " and "bad " that would try to take your stuff in a desperate situation. Personaly I would not want to hump around a " battle rifle " and many magazines of ammo like some people say they would . But I think it would be wise to include a large caliber handgun [ 38/357 , 9 mil. 45acp ] and if possible a rifle or shotgun . A 22 is a handy tool to have . But , If you decided to have only one gun , I just don't think a 22 is a good choice . The weight of the ammo would be a burden for sure . But , I think the pro's of having a larger caliber firearm definately outweigh the con's . My personal choices of firearms include a 38/357 revaolver , 38/357 lever rifle and a 12ga. shotgun . It would depend on the situation as to how much I would try to carry . I'd say I would try to take at least 125 rounds of 38 , 125 rounds 357 and 25 rounds of 12ga. if I had to BO on foot . If the wieght proved to be too much I would try to stash 1 or 2 of the guns somewhere that I might recover them later . I would always keep at least 1 gun . It would depend on my situation as to wich gun I would hang on to . Either the 12ga or the revolver .

Jim, you are a goat among the sheep. Feel sorry for them.

I would suppose that crime in the Netherlands is zero then? Nobody committing crimes against humanity? I don't read news from your part of the world, but bad people are everywhere and as others have mentioned...you take away guns and people just move to the next available weapon.

Oklahoma has concealed carry and I love it. If carrying a loaded weapon makes you a Hillbilly....guilty as charged. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I choose to carry a firearm so that the other equipment I am carrying isn't taken by someone else.

Although one of my posts wasn't that 'popular', I hope we can all just get on with other posts and stop with replying on this one.

I know that I stepped on some toes, but it wasn't my intention to judge people or offend them.

And although I still have my opinion about the subject, I'm not going to commend on it much longer and I do respect your opinion.

Off course sorry to the guy who posted this topic. It became a whole other subject, didn't it?? [color:"red"] [/color] [color:"red"] [/color] <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
