Chuck them and run to a little boat on the beach to take you away.
I didn't know until recently that the Channel Islands didn't adopt the gun control measures that have plagued most of the U.K.
Perhaps people there are more mindful of these issues because those islands were actually occupied by the Nazis.
My mother was born in Jersey and was there during the occupation. I think she would not give away a weapon too easily now. Her family all made it through the war unscathed, just! Unlike a couple of families she knew from school which in hindsight she thinks must have had Jewish blood. The Channel Islands have a long history of invasion and I think would know the value of a good weapon.
