Until earlier this year, private gun licenses were limited to people in the army reserves who held the rank of colonel or higher, or to people who worked or lived in specified dangerous areas. Hazan, for example, is a shoe dealer whose work has taken him to the West Bank. But in the beginning of February, the law was changed. For the next three years reservists with the rank of major can also be licensed to have personal weapons at home.
In case you haven't figured it out yet, "reservists with the rank of Major" are not in any way shape or form, the general population. The gun control laws in Israel are exactly as I have stated. They only allow those who are currently attached to the military or police. Period. End of story.
