Yeah, crossbows sounds like a good alternative. If an airpistol was legal that would also be a good alternative(again, I have no idea where to obtain) There would be no problem in getting a sword(an immediate problem in carrying one around in public) or a dagger, but these weapons only be effective in close-range combat.
Would construction of weapons be a viable alternative? Do you know any resources on the construction of own weapons. Also, perhaps this is ambitious, but could we be able to construct electronic weapons with easily obtainable hardware? EMP and microwave, electric guns, sound guns, or blinding light weapons.
Yes, I have absolutely no desire or inclination in having direct confrontations with police forces. Weapons are only for self-defence.

Of course if some of you think that the NWO is a part of the end times, then your plans are futile.
Just to add a little dark humour to the thread, since that is about all one can do in the face of the threats, (I have taken some liberties) where the survival is as a result of other more sinister plots. Unfortunately, the reality of it is, that there isn�t a whole lot one can do to cheat death from: the US homeland security advises:
A Biological attack- Understand one may or may not be obvious, and in some cases public health officials requires time to determine the problem.
-Practice good hygiene- don�t assume you have to go the hospital- don�t spread germs-quickly get away (from the source) �cover your mouth and nose with lots of (cotton)fabric.
Biohcem attack- Nerve agents are clear colourless and volatile readily absored, rapidly fatal.;- Blistering agents aside from the blisters damage the eyes, respiratory system and internal organs. Lasts for long periods, penetrates wood, rubber, plants (if you smell rotten onions or mustard, don�t breathe) after a few minutes of contact the damage is done; -Choking agents are generally colourless gasses with an odour of familiarity, an immediate reaction including nausea, vomiting, decreased pulse rate, ending with pulmonary oedema.
A chemical attack- If you see the signs of same, find clean air quickly- if outside, get inside, if inside get outside, or shelter in place, your call- wash with water and soap gently, do not scrub.
Contamination within 1-10 minutes, death within 4-42 hours.
Explosions- Hide behind or underneath a desk or sturdy table- no, exit the building- crawl low- wet that cotton fabric and place over your mouth.
No more needed here.
A Nuclear Blast- Avoid radioactive material- go below ground or find a shield or shelter, (the desk might not work here)- If no warning is given, try and decide whether you want to go inside, outside or far away (or under your bed.)- close all windows and doors-turn of anything to do with air circulation , but be sure to stay tuned to your TV. radio or ATSNN-remember the further away you are, the less you are exposed.
A wave of intense heat radiating outward; shock wave pressure; radiation; radiation fallout.. at the hypocentre, everything is immediately vapourised. Outward from that, heat, burn and radiation casualties. Shock wave collapse of buildings in outer perimeter, fires from intense heat and radioactive fallout over a wider perimeter over the long term, ingested by survivors.
A one megaton bomb today, has a destructive area of 1.7 miles. A 200 foot deep crater at
Centre of impact, 1,000 feet in diameter, virtually nothing remains within .6 miles from the centre ; at 1.7 miles out, only the strongest buildings remain, 98% of the population in this radius is dead; At 2.7 miles out 50% of the population is dead. At 4.7 radian miles, what is not destroyed is damaged, 5% of the population here is dead. At 7.4 radian miles out, moderate building damage, 25% population injured. www.pbs.org...
A Dirty Bomb(RDD)- If outside as it goes off, cover your nose and mouth(holding your breath is added insurance) �get inside, get outside, or stay put- close doors and windows-if you think you have been exposed, strip �nekked� and wash gingerly-STAY WHERE YOU ARE and watch TV or sign into ATSNN.- Most importantly: limit the amount of radiation you take in, (less is definitely a plus in this case.)- put a thick shield between you and the radiation (a giant TV or monitor and not the thin type, since you need to be watching or reading while shielded)- get as far away as possible.
Explosion itself is lethal within its vicinity; radioactive materials disperse in the air and contaminate many city blocks.
