I hear that a lot. Me, personaly, would rather loose my life than my freedom. Going to prison is an unacceptable idea for me. Even for a year! So I'd rather just use my bare hands for self defence and if I get killed, so be it!
And the county is Serbia (the avatar flag is of Socialist Fedarative Republic of Yugoslavia, which doesn't exist anymore).

Love your gun - from the pic. Really nice!
I love guns, rifles, am a pretty decent shooter, but don't rely on them for self defense. My doubts come from misjudging the situation - when scared, attacked - I cold misjudge a beating and robbery for an attempt at my life. If people in my area started getting killed by robbers, I'd consider packing a 38 everywhere I go, but so far that has not been the case - just a few bruises and wallet gone. But even then, I'd be more inclined to a baton and a strong torch light.
