    In my country you wouldn't need a gun, because you are not to kill someone.
True, we aren't used to considering that an option. I'm just worried about which options remain to me in case the opposing party doesn't agree.

What is the opposing party? I'd simply love to understand your comment

"Opposing party" was just me trying to be fancy. "The other guy" would have done just fine ;)

What I was trying to say is:

Not having and not wanting a gun is just fine, until someone who does have a gun wants to hurt you. I've known crazy people with guns - yes, in Germany.

I know those too. It's not that difficult to get a weapon here the legal way. Having gun pointed at you is always possible, but the probability is lower.
