Situation:
I'm in the Army. Currently stationed in a gun friendly state. I've deployed a few times and will be again soon.
In about 14 months I have the 'opportunity' to move someplace else. I'll also have this 'opportunity' again in about 3 years. In either the first move or the move in 3 years, I'm considering Germany.
One of the potential locations is a PCS move to Germany.
PROS:
Amazing cultural experience
Amazing travel opportunities
Great skiing/snowboarding (I assume) in the Alps
2 year assignment
Women could be a big plus...
CONS:
NO CCW
Limited to no private gun ownership - it would be very difficult at best
If I did go it would involve complex storage of a lot of firearms
Another unrelated issue that isn't gun related
I have a very hard time living someplace that I cannot own a gun, keep a gun in the house, or even carry in my 'civilian' world/life.
Have others encountered this and if so how do you get over it.
There are other locations where I could move/PCS, but there aren't many where I want to live that are really pro-gun.
Another question, are there any Army Soldiers here that have lived in someplace that was pro-gun and also great for skiing? I'm thinking Colorado and Alaska are about as good as it gets...
