The scramble to acquire weapons comes amid an indisputable nationwide spike in migrant-driven crime, including rapes of German women and girls on a shocking scale, as well as physical assaults, stabbings, home invasions, robberies and burglaries — in cities and towns throughout the country.
German authorities, however, are going to great lengths to argue that the German citizenry’s sudden interest in self-defense has nothing whatsoever to do with mass migration into the country, despite ample evidence to the contrary.
The spike in violent crimes committed by migrants has been corroborated by a leaked confidential police report, which reveals that a record-breaking 38,000 asylum seekers were accused of committing crimes in the country in 2014. Analysts believe this figure — which works out to more than 100 crimes a day — is only a fragment: many crimes are not reported.”
Anyone who asks for the reasons for the surge in weapons purchases encounters silence.” — Süddeutsche Zeitung

You need to go read that article. They are out of pepper spray since demand shot up 600% and I imagine with the strict gun control laws they have over there, about the only thing many can lay their hands on. Self-Defense By Condiment.
And in the Pew-Pew front?
In Berlin, the number of people holding a small weapons license increased by 30% during the first ten months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014, while the number of those holding the full-fledged firearms license jumped by some 50%, according to local police.
This would like New Jersey being so pressured, it had to start issuing whatever is that they give to their citizens to own a gun.
Take your time reading and be sure to follow some of the links in the article, specially those regarding crime spikes and the mini-mafia-caliphates already installed in Germany.
It’s only half the truth – the “Süddeutsche Zeitung” is something of a left leaning Propagandablatt so that’s not surprising.
The private security firms guarding the “refugee”camps also need pepper spray – it’s not only the civilians – and so does the police and the military dealing with the immigrants (most are no refugees, refugees from war torn countrys make up just 2% or so of the people immigrating).
My understanding is that even with a German firearms license, they are only allowed 1 handgun and 1 rifle. One of the reasons SIG came out with the P320 wasn’t just for military contacts, but also for the German civilian market. Now that the trigger is the only serialized part, a German P320 owner can get different caliber “kits” and still be legal under German law. Can anyone else confirm that?
I can’t say exactly what the possession caps are, but several countries over there limit people on how many firearms they can own, and that did drive some of that design thought in the P250/P320.
Plain wrong.
I’ll explain later, gotta go to work – I am a gunsmith working in a gun store in germany so you know there will be an exhausting answer ^^
I’m very interested in hearing the state of things from someone clearly in the know!
Interesting things happen when they are confronted with ‘reality’… Up close and personal…
Amazing when that happens. Goverment will protect you…..just kidding! you are on your own.
[…] People in blue states continue to arm themselves. Not just blue states either. Even ze Germans are arming themselves. […]
If the Germans are arming themselves, maybe the rest of Europe will finally be scared enough to do the same. After all, they’re Germans. 0_0 ^_^
