Gun permits and the subsequent purchase of weapons have risen substantially in Cologne, Germany since the mass sexual assaults on New Year’s Eve of 2015.
The police have lost the public trust, as their response to the assaults, committed by marauding gangs of “foreign men”, was paltry. Now citizens feel they must arm themselves in order to feel safe in public places.
Estimates of at least eight to ten application requests are being presented to the Düsseldorf police, spokesperson Andre Hartwich stated. At this pace, the 1500 requests for 2015, will be more than doubled, though Hartwich believes the interest will decrease.
Thus far, Frankfurt Police procedural office reports that they have had at least 13 applications a day, in comparison to the previous year’s one to two a day.
When crime happens and the police to nothing, whether by government compulsion or negligence, the people will rise up to protect themselves, it is human nature to protect one’s own life.

Bout time. Cover your asses
No kidding. Germany is more dangerous now for women than the middle East.
Pat Warden they are stupid. we have had a house there for over 20 years, its a wonderful place with charming history and a zest for life…with not many right wing crazies…I feel in love with the entire “europe” thing when I was sent to Sweden after test pilots school and spent 14 gloriouis months in a Draken regiment flying dissimilar airplanes. we have a house in Sweden as well
you folks always exaggerate the problems in Europe because it plays to your ignorance of how modern societies work and your fear of other cultures…plus a sprinkling of religious stupidity
a really dumb comment…
Robert Oler What does religion have to do with this? I am agnostic, I don’t believe in any religion. I do have ears though and have heard different stories that don’t paint the rosy picture of Germany you are painting.
Since world war II I thought socialism was dead. In my youth I thought it would never be possible for the USA to be infected with socialism. The far left and the media that are marching to the drums of socialism reminds me of the movie Downfall (Hitlers last 10 days)., It dawned on me how the left is calling Trump$#%&!@* yet their very action and prescription mirrors$#%&!@*in every respect.. The image of the left with Clinton and Obama strikes an eerie resemblance with Htilers followers going over the cliff with$#%&!@* They just can’t accept defeat in the election. If you have time try and see Downfall, it’s an older movie but History does repeat itself. Thank God we have patriots and conservatives that are exposing this attack within and fight this c**p to preserve our country for our children now and in the future. We can’t give up. Most of us have grandchildren by now. Keep informing your children the importance of passing down our history and heritage, don’t let it be lost
Pat Warden part of our problem in the States is taht we are in the grips of a minority who have conflated religion, guns, and very strange conservative thought…the Germans and most Europeans got out of the “religious influence on politics” a long time ago
Pat Warden I have ears but also eyes and go there a lot …we mostly love to vacation in Sweden but Germany works as well
Dear Billy!!!
We told you so but you just wouldn’t listen.
