A few Indian CCWs might have made a difference.
Probably factored into why they chose India as a target.
Every Rabbi on the planet should pack a Glock, legal or illegal.
Can’t remember the freeper’s name, but he was on a thread about the attack shortly after it began, was near one of the areas attacked, and was discussing this.
He said since the residents there can’t own guns, there is no place to even buy them.
My first thought is an armed resident could have taken at least one of the attackers out and saved a few lives.
Lets see...American cities and citizens become prey to roving bands of Islamic terrorists. I think that is number 14 on Husseins “change” list. Of course, #13 is “confiscate all guns.” Gee, we DO have something to look forward to, huh!
In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953,
about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded
up and exterminated.
I guess we can now add India to this list.
Hotels for foreign guests are least likely places where people would have their guns, even if it was legal, just because foreign travel with guns is complicated. Besides, the security of the hotel likely had their guns, poor sitting ducks - they were probably killed first.
It would not be too hard to obtain a license for a weapon in Mumbai. I doubt all of those in the hotel were unarmed.
