G'Day Fella's,

It was very enlightening to read what you blokes have to say about your part of the planet and the need to have a loaded firearm within easy reach.

I just have to say that I'm really pleased I have grown up and live where I do, as we have never had to even contemplate, such situations!

Actually where I live or have lived I have never really felt the need to have one loaded..but I do anyway..just like to keep them handy....

I firmly enjoy the right to be able to make that decision for myself versus the goverment making it for me...

Where I live or have lived, it is much more probable to need a firearm for some pesty skunk, badger or whatever as you will for those with 2 legs... I NEVER go hiking without one someone for that reason..never know when you will run into that 1 in a 100,000 encounter...would much rather be on the plus side of that statistic...

Having said tha, have traveled many places here in the US where I would not go very far without one on me there as well..and has saved my bacon on 2 different situations..hoping if and when number three comes around I will have one then too..
