Mumbai photographer: I wish I'd had a gun, not a camera. Armed police would not fire back

I enjoy the quip, "I carry a gun because I can't carry a cop." Even if you could carry those cops, they were useless.

Isn't that an 'alleged' terrorist carrying that gun?

What a difference from the American news media, who think no one should be armed.

Waiting for police or the Army to show up with mops and buckets is an unacceptable strategy in fighting terrorists.

Applied locally. We live in the country, out side the city limits, thus in the County jurisdiction for law enforcement. My cousin, who grew up in the same house as I did, thus is like a brother, is the county sheriff. He told me it would be TWENTY MINUTES on average for a deputy to get too us in an emergency!!!!!!!!! Unless, by luck one was just down the road at the time we called. THUS, we are armed and will defend ourselves.

Calling a terrorist attack a "tragedy" is the greatest disservice to the general population since NBC green-lit "Rosie Live!"

An attack like that is an atrocity, something which sould be resisted vigorously. The citizen's ability to resist is the socialist's worst nightmare. For some reason people continue to vote for them.

That terrorist attack is exactly what a citizen militia would be equipped to handle.

One is assured that this same thought crossed the Minds of the Framers of the Constitution. . . “if only I had a Gun”.
When Universities put up signs on Campus saying “Gun free zone” and the Media Spikes News stories of Private citizens using Guns to stop Crimes (car jacking Edinburg, Tx.) . . Its an invitation for Terror for one state, and a “Keep Out” sign for another state.
When Terror Hits your city, Do you really want to live in a Gun Free Zone ?

“I only wish I had a gun, not a camera.”

What’s that old, old saying? “A conservative is a liberal who’s been mugged...”
