How said is it I can't get them license. I would totally get a shotty at least.

Well at least I can get a samurai sword and maybe a crossbow....

Knives will come in handy aswell

What country do you live in and why can't you get a license for one?

I hear to getlicensedhere in Finland you need a dam good reason. Just for protection wont do

Sounds like your gun laws are very similar to the gun laws here in Canada but your community of gun owners is quite large in comparison.

There's officially about 8 million "registered" guns in Canada for a country of 33 million - that's 24 guns/100 people compared to Finland's official 32 guns/100. I'd be willing to put the number of actual guns in Canada in the 10-15 million mark, but noone really knows.

That said, you'd better get a license and get your guns while you still can. If Canada is a good example of what happens with gun control:

1) When people are complacent, gun laws get worse.
2) The more people who lawfully obtain firearms who are unwilling to let them go, the more difficult it becomes for politicians to implement stricter gun laws.

It looks like Finland has a gigantic shooting community, and unless you're somehow disqualified for some reason, I STRONGLY suggest you legally procure a gun.

Free men own weapons. Slaves do not.

While you are able to own a weapon, you know you have SOME freedom. That's not to insinuate free men are murderers or violent individuals, but rather that when government forms a monopoly of anything, they perpetrate the most hideous crimes.

Citizens owning weapons means the government does NOT hold a monopoly on the tools of force and so, do not have an unlimited capacity to employ force against it's citizens. Much like owning silver, owning a gun itself is a non-violent way to stand against tyranny of governments with excessive power.

By the way, it looks as if getting a gun license in Finland is a lot easier than getting one in Canada. I don't like talking about my guns, but suffice to say, I as a Canadian have a gun collection that would probably put a lot of the Americans to shame.

I'm not saying you should go and do likewise, or even that you should entertain in your mind for one second the idea that owning guns you as an individual will somehow be able to overthrow a tyrannical government (you won't). What I'm saying is if you want a hedge your self against tyranny, while you still can, you need to get a gun.
