HB I see your point and from what I have read it seem it’s not so simple to have one legally and being a law abiding citizen I will never get an illegal firearm but I must admit if I could get one legally I would, students can be victims of aggression too , I have been called paranoid before but can't help it but I realize I will have to adjust to a new way of life, things have happened to me over here and to some friends and family I do not need to mention, so yes over here I’m always packing and it saved my neck a few times, but I guess a pocket knife or something will have to do or if I could get a tazer that would be great.
