Is it illegal in your country to have a bow for self defence?

>>72002898
We have no laws regarding bows.

It is assumed you aren't allowed to have your bow ready to fire on you. But you can carry it around.
The only thing that isn't allowed is to use cutting arrows.

In the Netherlands you aren't allowed to carry anything for self-defence. But you are allowed to defend yourself with everything that seems proportional.

So for example: if you have a gun in your home, then you can get fined for owning an illegal gun. But if someone comes into your house with a bat, then you are allowed to shoot him.

Dutch law states you should flee if you can.

But if you are very upset (angry or scared), then under Dutch law your defense does not have to be proportional.
So, if some burglar scares you very much and you shit your pants, then you are allowed to step into a tank and drive him over.

Bows are completely legal here, I recal.
Probably not full-auto assault bows though.

Well, there is case law from a year or two ago where some shop owner kept a gun.
Then one time three Moroccan robbers came into his shop. The wife of the shop keeper got scared, grabbed the gun and shot all three Moroccans.

The judge sentenced the shop keeper for 100 hours community service for illegal possession of a gun.

Crossbows and bows are legal and don't require any special permits.

Which is why drug addicts and other assorted nutjobs sometimes get them to rob banks and convenience stores since there's no way for them to get their hands on a real gun.

>>72003546
Crossbows are also legal here yeah. But there are laws that they shouldn't be ready to fire.

>>72003546
but I was told gun control laws don't work and criminals will get things regardless because they don't obey the law

Firearm incidents are seldom heard of in the proper Western civilisations (id est: America is faux developed).

I referred to the criminals reasoning. If your gun is too big in the Netherlands they even pass it on to the military.

The terrorist are French speaking Belgians anyway. They just go north to Paris.

You can own one.
Shooting someone... well, technically it is forbidden to shot someone unless he attacks you with a weapon. If you just put a knife in his dead heand... well, who knows it's not his?

well to be fair in a smaller and more controlled society that isn't already swimming in handguns and other assorted weapons it's a lot easier to control access to them. a single missing assault rifle is a huge deal and can lead to years of police investigation and probably costs an obscene amount of money on the black market.

i have a pistol crossbow of around 40lbs, i think it could do some damage but it's probably not suited for self defense
