Picture of a outfit during WWII... why am I not even surprised.

The Dutch couldnt be anymore Dutch if they tried!

@🎓 Dr. Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱 You are a number guy I think. What are the odds that a nationwide catastrophe will happen? And what is the change you might hit a solar flare the kills all electric devices (in that case your hamradio might be broken too I think)? I am 60 years old now and I twice had an outage of the cell network (4g). There where a few outages when there was a severe winter storm in 1978 if I remember correctly.

Imho that are 2 different issues b.t.w. In most cases people tend to help each other when a catastrophe is happening, that has been proven by what I see. People tend not to loot or grab guns in such cases.

I do understand having ham around (I even thought about doing that too). I do however can walk down the street to another Dutchie over here who has the installation. Some other Germans over here have that too. I might consider LORO (isn't that what it is called?)

In case of a solarflare I will walk to one of the farms nearby and ask them to start their tractors to help out to (I know they will).

So please tell me why I should prepare myself with guns?

@hansw In case you see someone getting raped, incase someone pulls a knife on you with the intent to kill, incase another hitler invades, In case a maniac with a truck starts trying to kill people by running over them.

The reasons are endless why one might potentially need a gun. Much like a nationwide cell outage these sorts of things may happen once in a life time, if that, so they are nothing to live in fear of. But again it isnt about fear, its about being responsible just in case.
