  1. Yeah, my walls can hold a tank at bay, meanwhile the only time I've actually seen a gun IRL was in the US. And yeah when I renovated I had to buy one of those big drills when I had to make a new slot in the wall for some electric wiring. It takes specialised equipment to get through that wall. In the Netherlands we even have 'concrete drills' that are increadibly common, which are basically normal drills but they also act like jackhammers. We need a drill like this to hang a painting on the wall in most houses, like a cheap drill can't drill into the wall at all. Not even to hang a painting. Because it is actually made of solid stone.

  2. ​ @CitsVariants No, Europe is the wrong word here. There's absolutely no generic policy when it comes to guns and police in Europe. Although I truly have never seen a gun anywhere in Europe. Are there police officers in Europe that do wear guns? Yes, but in most countries that's only special forces that have to arrest people in organised crime and stuff. Just your local police officer you randomly meet on the street at least in the Netherlands for sure doesn't wear a gun. And in most countries in the EU that is extremely rare. I've literally never seen a gun in Europe after living there for 30 years and having seen quite a lot of countries to some extent (probably been on about 50 vacations in that timeframe all over Europe). To be fair, I haven't that much in France or the UK where I've heard it's more common. But even on airports guns are basically none existent in most of Europe. In the Netherlands for sure and I've seen several European airports and it just isn't a thing in most of Europe. People don't have guns so security doesn't need to have it either. I mean probably there are some people with guns in an airport, but they aren't the visible guys you'd actually meet as a passenger. But yeah, guns are really rare and reserved for special units within the police force. It's not like the US where every police officer is commissioned a gun. It's the exception not the rule in most of Europe and for sure the Netherlands. But again rules can vary quite a lot in Europe, police is a national endeavour, outside of Europol (which is something you'd basically never see as an average citizen, if Europol even remotely cares about you, you're intertwined in some serious international crime), police is completely nationally organised. The EU has literally 0 power over how a nation does this, so this can vary a lot from country to country. But I'm pretty sure it's nowhere even close like it is in the US. I haven't been to every European country, so maybe there are some where guns are very common. But for sure this isn't the case in the Netherlands, Germany, France (at least outside of Paris, for some reason I still haven't been to Paris even though it's quite close), Italy, Czechia, Norway, Ireland, Austria, or Greece. Just a few countries off the top of my head I can think of having visited in the last 10 years.

  3. ​ @John8087 I've never been to Sweden. So yeah, that might absolutely be true, but that's not a general rule in Europe. Most officers in a lot of European countries don't wear guns at all.
