My g/f has a Walther PPK locked in her safe... I have to behave myself. She has said though that if it were ever to be shot it would probably blow up in her face as it is one of the early models.
Vienna is a Capitalist city (even though it claims to be 'proportionally representative' - it is NOT) and the Austrians, as a whole, are still fiercely Socio-Nationalistic (which is even worse than racist but I won't go into that one).
