 if i have options then probably the one i'd pick out of them all is the one where owning guns is relatively easy... 

i'm not so much interested in the marauding hordes or invading scenario, honestly i doubt the modern economy can really pay for a serious war other than the one they are kicking off in eastern europe... no, it's because bullets keep working for decades, don't need power, and can net you food out in the wild, and maybe once in a while scare off some dumbasses trying to rip something off... plus also lots of fun, and something i've hankered for since i was in my mid 20s... australia is fucked up about guns, it's one of the biggest red flags, i mean literally, for any place, bad gun laws, bad place to live
