You can still get armed and ready. You could be ready to save a person you love's life. That's something you can do about it.
If you live in the US, I guess you can? Its pretty hard in Europe to get armed. :)
Sorry for the US Defaultism. You probably can't even get a machete. Nothing stopping you from making your own with paracord or something for the handle.
Are crossbows illegal?
In my country (Germany)
Crossbows are legal to own and sell for adults. They are allowed to be shot at certified locations (i.e. shooting ranges) but not necessarily on your own property. You need a license for shooting them on your own property if the energy of the projectile exceeds 7.5 Joules. In comparison, a 9mm pistol shoots projectiles with 300-500 Joules.
Basically (for crossbows):
For comparison: a 9mm pistol shoots with 300-500 Joules.
Why would you want a crossbow though? Keep in mind that you are not allowed to use weapons for self-defense, even if you don't need a license for them. Furthermore, I'm not sure whether you are allowed to publicly carry the crossbow at all.
Very interesting info, thanks. I just mentioned them because they're fun to shoot and wondered if they were illegal. I know you have your own problems with AFD but the situation here is a bit more dire.
Its ok :) I think people having weapons is a source of a lot of bad things, but also a lot of good things. So its a mixed bag. I dont like being in a country where I cant protect my family from intruders. But I like that its rare with school shootings.
If you get a baseball bat make sure you get a glove and a ball and keep them together. 😉
Haha thats good advice :)
Or he can just not worry about it if he wants. Not everyone wants to doomsday prep.
Im not prepping for doomsday, I think its better to die in that scenario. But having some form of self defence, im all in favor for that. Police comes after someone has been murdered, not before.
