on the plus side, it is veeeeery unlikely you will have any troubles in switzerland
Quote from: firiki on November 21, 2014, 11:42:22 AMA few years back I was reading a statistic about homicides involving guns. The country with most of them was the USA, followed by Switzerland in second place. I can't verify that though.This is a very difficult comparison as you have to take into account things like population density and such.

Fun fact, last month they removed the last batch of TNT from bridges crossing over the river Rhine into Germany

Also with everybody being part of the military, secrecy is difficult.
They probably just took it out to replace it with a fresh batch.
I just don't understand the mindset of some. You think just because you have situational awareness you can avoid every situation that might lead you to be a victim. That is just pure denial in my opinion. Sure you can avoid some situations, but anything can happen and some of those things are unavoidable. Wouldn't you rather have it and not need it then need it and not have it. I am not at all saying that a knife is a good or ideal weapon for self defense, but if it was literally your last resort I would hate to die thinking I could of done more. I think having a knife for defense against the 4 legged creatures is a much more logical and plausible thought to have. I'm sure that some will disagree with me which is perfectly fine.
I know this is an old thread but can I just say how impressive the respect shown here for others opinions is? On most places on the web this kind of conversation would be nuclear by now.
