Mumbai

Two bits on Mumbai of interest:

Mumbai photographer: I wish I'd had a gun, not a camera. Armed police would not fire back and this piece from David Hardy Via Instapundit.

In regard to whether it would have made a difference if the victims had been armed, it couldn't have made it worse. Armed citizens willing to defend themselves and family might have ended the attack. Ont he other hand trained terrorists armed with rifles against civilians armed with handguns? For myself I'd rather go down a sheepdog not a sheep. Hell, some of the professional sheepdogs in Mumbai apparently hunkered down with the unarmed civilains and took not one shot at their attackers. Those who survived need to find other work. You carry the gun, you take your pay, you do your duty.
