Shotguns have 'virtually sold out' in Austria as citizens rush to buy arms amid fears of a massive influx of migrants, dealers claim
Weapon sales are soaring in Austria as citizens of the small Alpine nation become paranoid over the numbers of refugees crowding into their country.
In a country of 8.5 million people, there are now an estimated 900,000 firearms in homes.
And gun dealers report that it is women driving the sales rush. This year alone, police say 70,000 guns have been sold.
'Virtually all shotguns are currently sold out, because you need no permit for them', said Thomas Ortner, spokesman for an arms dealer in Upper Austria.

Austria has strong self defense laws, concealed carry with permit, & “it allows even excessive uses of deadly force to be excused on the
ground that the judgment of the victim of a crime was affected by fear, panic, outrage or other strong emotion.”

Every adult male Swiss has an actual select fire rifle provided by the Swiss government, if memory serves. And they are trained annually to use it effectively.

Just as in this country, these sales are due to a profound disconnect between the elite politicians and Joe Citizens.
This disconnect, both in Europe and in this country, cannot last forever.
Somethings gotta give.

I'm sure there is no castle doctrine in any European country. I remember the British farmer who was imprisoned for having the audacity to defend himself. I wonder what the consequences are elsewhere in Europe. At least my home state and my winter state have castle doctrine, so I'm good to go...until Hitlery goes Australian on us.

With President Obeyme bringing millions of illegals and muslim terrorists (it’s synonymous, trust me) to America, don’t let this happen to YOU.
Buy a gun while you still can.

citizens of the small Alpine nation become paranoid over the numbers of refugeesIt isn't paranoia when they really are out to get you.
