More and more German citizens are choosing to arm themselves as the number of weapons permits for firearms saw a record increase in 2017 going up nationwide by 85 per cent. In January 2016, Germany had around 300,000 holders of “small weapons” permits that allow citizens to own various kinds of weapons such as pepper spray and pistols that fire gas pellets. By the end of 2017, that number almost doubled to 557,000, Deutsche Welle reports.
Self-defense courses are also on the rise as many martial arts gyms and others have claimed that they have seen a surge in new members in recent years.
One of the major factors for the increase in small weapons permit requests was, according to some experts, the massive wave of sex attacks in Cologne on New Year’s Eve 2015/2016.
Plickert said that the police see the public carrying weapons unfavorably and that many would be better to sound an alarm or ask someone else for help, instead claiming that weapons can make a situation more dangerous.
While the permits only allow the public carry of non-lethal weapons, police have raised an alarm over groups like the far-right “Reich Citizens” who have previously been found with caches of pistols and rifles.
In neighboring France, the demand for firearms has also increased although the ability to legally obtain weapons is difficult. Despite the legal difficulty of getting a firearm, police have found often military grade firearms more and more during raids on drug traffickers.
Last year, police in Eure-et-Loir, Eure, and Yvelines found a massive cache of weapons which included two loaded and ready-to-run anti-tank M80 rocket launchers, several automatic rifles, and thousands of rounds of ammunition.

Blog Author's Comments: Refugees welcome? I don't think so, and they can thank their Chancellor, Angela Merkel and the people that voted for her, for the damage that was done and will never be repaired. A civilized, unarmed society is only possible when you have a civilized stock. When you live alongside imported violent predators, self-defense becomes an absolute necessity. America has been dealing with third worlders for much longer. Now the rest of the world is catching up and perhaps beginning to understand.
A few smart Germans getting ready for multiculturalism. Can you blame them for protecting their families and property from the terrorists? What a surprise, crime goes up, people wanting to protect themselves goes up. Self defense is the only defense we really have and the left has tried to take that away little by little. So they can force feed their ideology to the rest of the deplorables.
With President Trump now at the helm, some of the pressure is off as far as gun ownership and concealed carry laws. But, the Democrats will continue to chip away at our 2nd Amendment rights, this will never stop. I have always known the Democratic Party will do whatever is required to take back, what they believe is their right to power of the government and power over the people.

This is what makes the mid-term elections so important. The Republican Party must maintain control of the House. If not, the president will never be able to accomplish more of what he wants for his voters. So, if there is ever an election cycle that is important, it is definitely the mid-terms. Trump has had to do the best he could with everyone on the left and a few of his own party trying to stop anything he wants. I would like to think that Mueller will soon put a stop to his 'witch hunt' and that could calm the mainstream media and Democrats down, but I know that this is only wishful thinking. The only thing that now counts is at the ballot box in 2018.
