Shotgun and Firearm Licences

I often am frightened of weird things, like Skynet rising up and enslaving the human race. I am also worried about zombie rising from the dead and creating an apocalypse. Now there are people have looked at this in a bit more detail than I, but they have not had the same level of response that I am looking for. You see these people are people who have  been looking for a direct answer and they have been looking like fools. So I decided that I would look at it in a different way.

In the United Kingdom, we have some of the tightest gun laws in the world. This is after one of the most tragic chapters of the UK called Dunblane , after the location of where this happened. Why bring this up here? Since this incident, the licensing laws in the UK have been tightened.  All licences are now regulated by the local police authority.  So wouldn't it be good to how many people have these licences? (The home office given very good guidelines that you have to follow on how to gain one).

Now I need to know this because we need to know which area has the highest amount of firepower in the event of a zombie outbreak.  So with this in mind, which is the place in Wales which has the highest number of shotguns and firearms licences?  In the event of the zombie outbreak, this would (logically) be the place to go.  It doesn't tell us the whole story, however, because we also need to know two other things.  How many people are applying for them and how many have been refused.  This would give us the details we need to think about which is the best place to get a licence and where not. Lets look at the results:

Thats a lot of licences!  I really was surprised on the amount of people who have these licences. Now this linked with the armed response we can see that:


Name
Total FireArms
Armed Police
Total Amount
14809
48
14857
9738
45
9783
21449
63
21512
7480
88
7568

So the place with the highest amount of firepower in Wales is Dyfed Powys.  Pretty interesting stuff, isn't it?

Now this is a silly way of talking about things (Like most of the things that I write about).  Zombie survival, firepower, all nonsense!  That being said, think of this.  We know that there are an awful lot of licenced people in Dyfed Powys, and that  Gwent has the  highest amount of Armed Police officers. Isnt this fun, kids?
