I am suprized that with all of the discussion about the need for women in India to be able to protect themselves from rapists and men in general that no one seemed to make a connection to the right to carry concealed weapons that exists in 49 states in America. Might it be possible that women in India would be better off if they were allowed a concealed carry right? Would the men in India think twice before potentially accosting a potentially pistol packing woman? Women in India shouldn't have to hide in their homes.
