Roman,
The forum doesn't need stimulating - it's already very good.
My point is a valid one. I am asked all the time by planning overlanders (going all over the world) about weapons, my advice is always 'no' (same as drugs, as it happens). What he takes is, of course his own (informed) choice - hence this post.
There are people, though, who have and do take things for defence - and I would be interested to hear from them what they take and the reasons why. I, for instance, always have a baseball bat and softball...
Sam.
PS If he's headed for Iraq via the Sahara, he's more in need of a map than a gun!
