Good to know, apologies for the assumptions about your circumstances. I would encourage you to get a firearm if you live on a farm but that is your choice. Far too many farmers have been killed. We used to live on a farm but in an area and at a time when there were very few killings.
You can't just buy a gun in America anymore, as far as I know you have to go through a background check. And obviously if you have been committed of certain crimes you are not eligible to own a firearm.
The bottom line I guess for me is that gun ownership in SA should be a right, not a privilege.
No not at all, I just missed compulsory service, I consider myself a soldier for God, and it just sounded like a cool name is all
