Wouldn't a nice quiet bow, or a thrown blade from a shadow do just as well as the gun?
Most places have laws about firearms, the laws on traditional weapons tend to be more leniant.

Well sure, those would do just fine if ya were looking to assassinate someone but I tend to be confronting people/things when the situation turns confrontational. But I can certainly see the upsides to your more classic weaponry in a lot of situations.
As to legality, well, I've been searched a bunch of times and nobody ever says anything the gun I got tucked away so I figure they must be okay with it.

I suppose, if you say so.
What truely matters is that the weapon in hand fades away from the user's concious mind, becoming an extension of it's user's will.

As an LEO I am required be armed at all times. I carry a .45 OPSEC auto-loader pistol, a tazer, can of specially formulated " pepper spray ", a reinforced mag lite that I can use as a bludgeon, and a 12 gauge strapped to my crusier's dash board.
OI awlays keep a variety of 12 gauge and .45 ammo available at all time, as well as a good combat knife and a .30-06 hunting rifle with modified targetting scope are also close at hand.
I also have acquired Bert's old habit of keepin' a weapons locker of assorted goodies at several secure locations around the area. My .50 is only used for certain situations as the ammo is expensive and it use as a sniper rifle can be construded as a war crime.
The occasional flashbang, stungun, or non-lethal ordiance is also useful at time to have on hand when you just need to subdue a perp or simply " persuade " someone.
