Personally I think crime and assault is on the rise everywhere; not just the UK.
As you will probably know its illegal to own firearms here in the UK apart from a sporting shotgun but you still need a permit and it can only carry usually 2 rounds.
I think that the US has the right idea where you can own a gun for self defence purposes although I think this does lead to an increase in crimes i.e. its easier to purchase and own a weapon therefore greater potential for that weapon to be misused.
18 months on ATS isn't a long time in comparison to some members on here I'll definately agree with that, I just personally think survival really should start at home and people just address their immediate concerns "on the street" before their future long term plans.
However, as I mentioned in my OP I find nothing wrong with long term planning but my personal thoughts are that its more likely to be on "the wrong end of the stick" in a local, more immediate event than a SHTF situation.
