For the record, carrying a gun for self defense is illegal in most countries.
Most countries treat gun ownership as a privilege, not a right.
Self-defense is rarely accepted as a justification outside the U.S. and a few other exceptions.
That's why I said besides a firearm heh. I didn't want a bunch of 2A happy US people just say "gun"
Sure. Am just saying that a gun is not a 'good, viable' self-defense tool, as the title suggests. That's not true in most places.
