Interpol Secretary General Ronald Noble said today the U.S. and the rest of the democratic world is at a security crossroads in the wake of last month's deadly al-Shabab attack at a shopping mall in Nairobi, Kenya – and suggested an answer could be in arming civilians.
In an exclusive interview with ABC News, Noble said there are really only two choices for protecting open societies from attacks like the one on Westgate mall where so-called "soft targets" are hit: either create secure perimeters around the locations or allow civilians to carry their own guns to protect themselves.
"Societies have to think about how they're going to approach the problem," Noble said. "One is to say we want an armed citizenry; you can see the reason for that. Another is to say the enclaves are so secure that in order to get into the soft target you're going to have to pass through extraordinary security."

The ONLY way to truly fight the scourge of terror is to arm citizens. Even Interpol discovered this.
Blind pig, truffle.
Gee...
Nice of him to grant us “permission” to do what we already have the absolute Constitutional, Civil, and HUMAN RIGHT to do.
True. But you also have to be more tolerant of friendly fire accidents, judicially speaking. And we aren't yet willing to go there... or the powers that be are too strong and unwilling to allow them.

Actually We Have Already gone there, for Public Servants. What we really need is EQUAL PROTECTION UNDER THE LAW like our Public Masters.
How does one conceal carry one of those AR15 pistols?
Agree.
Aristotle said it. “You can tell the difference between the citizens and the slaves in any society. The citizens are armed.” If you don’t have the right to defend your own life or your families lives then you are a slave to someone else who has dominion over your life, be it another person or a government. An undefended human is “owned.”
That pretty well killz it. Self ping for the future...
Another self ping for great insight into the situation.
Self ping,,
