there are plenty of weapons you can use in the UK that don't need licencing, just a bit of common sense whilst using them, longbows, compound bows, crossbows-both full size and pistol, air rifles, catapults(slingshots to our American cousins), spears, knives. we aren't exactly weaponLESS in the UK.

Weapons are only one part of prepping, and a small one at that. Necessary, yes, but far more prepping can be done in the way of establishing renewable water and food resources, and even alternative medical ideas. Google on doomsday diabetes, and I bet you find all kinds of ideas on how to keep your wife well even if the SHTF.
Thanks for that one Gazrok.
I've not been on for quite a while as the Mrs was not into 'prepping', but after watching the series 'Under The Dome', which got her thinking. She is now very much a 'prepper' and we are stocking up on food and other things.
I have been looking at sites for 'silent weapons' and when we have the money, I will be making purchases...
Crossbow. Nearly as easy to use as a gun, but much more silent.
However, even a .22 isn't really all that noisy, when compared to other firearms. (and is a good option for hunting small game too).
Still pays to have a shotgun and/or actual rifle when needed too though.
