Id like to be able to carry a handgun for saftey but if they were legal and more available it would also increase the chances my assailant would have a gun on him to.
It's not the legal ones you need to worry about.

Aren't they carrying them illegally anyway.

sorry that's all I can find.
Do any of you lot in the UK wish we could have weapons like this? (legally)

You can still legally own handguns in certain parts of the UK for sporting purposes, and also carry for personal protection if you have need for them.
I guess it depends on who you ask. To me, yes.Is that an extreme view?

Guns are tools, they have a natural use. To desire them for anything other than to use as a tool, is not something that sits comfortable with me.
... this forum is considered to be child friendly and is accessible by schools and tertiary education students. We would prefer for it to remain so, and to that end we generally advise that firearms and their images are preferably posted in Fair Game...
Bad ? no one said *Bad* but it is provocative and off topic. Especially when opened in an educational establishment on a forum that is supposed to be Bushcraft, with a major focus on the UK.
Basically, we have had concerns raised by students that they open the forum in a public place and firearms and hunting / butchery scenes are not considered appropriate.
Do you need any further clarification ?

It just baffles me that firearms and hunting and butchering game are not considered integral aspects of bushcraft. It would be tough to find an image of our cultural icons like Daniel Boone or Lewis and Clark without a firearm, and they weren't squeamish about "making meat".
