My Grand-Grand-Grandmother offered herself to soviet soldiers so they didn’t rape her daughter (around 30 back then) and grandchildren (2-10). The Soviet War Memorial in Berlin is nicknamed “Memorial of the Unknown Rapist”.
My Grand-Grand-Grandmother sacrifice didn’t help and therefore one of my ancestor is a raping soviet soldier. And if you learn that your Grand-Aunt just can’t remember being raped because she was too young…
It’s frightening how easily people can lose their moral compass, and behave so disgustingly.
The Russians didn’t lose their moral compass. They never had one.
The target wasn’t elevated. We were elevated. I tried to explain that the duck was just taking speed to take off but honestly I don’t know the right English word for that maneuver. And as I hinted, I had fired the exact same rifle two years earlier at our gun club several times. Also, I paid with an aching shoulder for my recklessness.
Edit: “Not Qualified” is not the right wording. Because Qualification only plays a secondary role. It is all about the licence.
In Germany carrying a gun without the right licence would be illegal possesion of a firearm.
But wait, even if you have a licence you can get fined for illegal transport and handling of a firearm.
Carrying a conceiled small sidearm without a special permit is big trouble. Transporting a firearm without a locked enclosure and not seperated from the ammunition is also a serious offence. At home you need a locked container. All in all it got so complicated that my Dad stopped storing guns at home. He sold one and put the other into the gun club. The club is really helpful, we can lend legal transport containers and for guns which we are not allowed to move in public they offer transport services for a small fee, usually that means a police officer moves the gun in his free time using legal transport containers in exchange for a beer.
Classic case: Someone dies and you find a loaded pistol in his inheritance. You bring it to the police. You did three offences: Carrying a conceiled firearm in public, carrying a firearm without proper container, carrying a loaded firearm. The legal way would have been: Calling the police to retrieve the firearm. To be honest, the state attourney usually closes those cases rather quick as “minor incident without criminal intent” but you still get a serious talk.
There are some exceptions for old historic muzzleloaders which are often fired at historic events without bullets. We don’t have those so I don’t know barely anything about those rules.
In Germany we have on average more privately owned guns than most US states. Still… we had just TWO mass shooting in 20 years.
Why?

In short: You have to qualify to own a gun. Assholes don’t get guns. And by fullfilling the laws to own a gun you actually earn respect in your community.
I am member of a German gun club where the local population, the regional police and a couple of NATO soldiers train. It took me nearly one year before I even was allowed to touch a loaded gun, all through my 14th year I was basically just taught how to clean and repair my rifle, how to handle it, how to NOT use it, only then how to use it. And after ten months I was finally given a single bullet.
I am now 30. Nowadays my family owns and shares a Sig Sauer 200, locked inside the gun club. Everyone except my Mum shots around 25 bullets per month, once a year the whole gun club repeats basic training which includes mental health checks.
And after basic training we have special events. For example six years ago a local NATO garrison was massively downsized and so they offered us to use up their overaged surplus ammunition. I got to shot pretty much anything from 9mm to 7,62mm for basically free - we collected money for the victims of a local house fire so I put €50 into the collection.
Did I ever shot a gun outside the gun club?
Actually: Yes. When I was in the US I joined my Uncle on duck hunt. He was like “ok, hold the big rifle while I show you how to shot a duck using 12gd bird shot.” - he misses, I aim and shot the duck mid-air with a .308. I didn’t know ducks could explode, but yes, they can. I paid with a badly aching shoulder, I wasn’t used to those powerful cadridges any more. He looked angry at me and grumbled the plan was to eat the duck not turn them into fine mist. The other three ducks he left for me to shot and wondered where I had learned to operate a gun like that.
When I told him a US lieutenant taught me to operate exaclty the same rifle in my gun club he was like “WTF?”. I might mention the lieutenant immediatelly settled down in my town after his duty was over because he liked Bavaria so much and wanted his kids to grow up in a less crazy nation.
This is interesting: The Blocker works on Windows-x86-Firefox but NOT on my Linux-x86-Firefox or any ARM-Device. It seems Google holds back very carefully not to overblock. Can someone try if the Browser-Identifier does influence this behaviour?
Danke, Du bist tatsächlich der ERSTE der die Fragen beantwortet und nicht vom Thema abschweift. Dann kann ich auch damit leben. Meine Antworten wären gewesen: Keine Ahnung jein Ja Ja

Lichtenberg habe ich passend korrigiert,danke für den Hinweis. Seine Daten waren rein aus dem Gedächtnis.
Beim Selbstfinden von Erwachsenen bin ich auch extrem großzügig solange alle Beteiligten mündig und einverstanden sind. Da erschreckt mich nichts.
Aber mit 14 ist man einfach noch nicht in der Lage sich selbst vor Übergriffen zu schützen. Ich kann mich da noch an eine Klassenfahrt nach Italien erinnern. Mitschülerin, 17, macht im öffentlichem Bus ein Gesicht wie sieben Tage Regenwetter. Eine andere Mitschülerin fragt was los ist, Antwort “der Mann hinter mir hat seine Hand in meiner Hose”… eine 17(!) Jährige Gymnasiastin mit guten Noten die von so einer Situation völlig überfordert ist… was macht dann die 14-jährige Hauptschülerin mit kaputtem Selbstwertgefühl wenn der nette Onkel an die Glocken greift?
(Der Busgrabscher wurde dann von unserer versammelten Burschenschaft aus dem Bus geworfen. Männer sind manchmal Schweine und manchmal nützlich und manchmal beides 😉)
Die Erklärung ist einfach: Du machst das jetzt weil ich sonst das WLAN-Passwort ändere. Gibt es da noch was zu diskutieren? 😇😇😇
Spaß beiseite, es geht ja nicht nur ums Baden sondern um den Begriff “öffentlicher Raum”.
Kleine Anekdote, Georg Christoph Lichtenberg geboren 1742 schrieb zum Thema Freikörperkultur schon Essays. Der Gute ist auch darüber hinaus für seine Aphorismen bekannt, sehr lesenswert. Aber wie gesagt, es geht ja nicht um einen abgegrenzten FKK-Bereich sondern wirklich “20 Meter neben dem Biergarten und 50 Meter neben der Hauptstraße zwischen 50+ Badegästen”. Und grundsätzlich scheint das sogar für Straßenverkehr zu gelten. Ich lege jetzt keine Rolle ins Kopfkino ein, das kann jeder selbst.
Very good point I didn’t even consider that.
Even taking SFW pictures from random people without permission is a crime around here. Minors even more and mostly nude minors… you are going to be in a lot of hurt.
That is a mine field for everyone using a go-pro or taking pictures near the lake.
