That’s some Solomon-like wisdom. I presume it’s illegal to fire a pistol offensively and it appears there is some question if you can fire a pistol defensively - can you ever fire a pistol there legally?
India seems to be moving toward making armed self defense legal, at least for the wealthy and politically connected.
In theory, the law applies to everyone.
It is very difficult for poor people to legally own a firearm.
India makes it almost impossible to purchase a foreign made firearm in India. They are producing a couple of revolvers and a semi-automatic designed for self defense. The semi-auto is in .32, the revolvers in .32 and .22.
Larger calibers are generally forbidden, but there are a tiny number of handguns which are grandfathered in.
Just think that might be the type of logic this woman would use as POTUS.
