Interesting gun blog from Israel. Note the photos of armed civilians in public.
From the blog:
Here in Israel, where weapons permits are issued to those that need them, and are limited to a single weapon per person, there is no such thing as concealed carry.
Or open carry.
Weapons permits for private citizens are granted as Carry Permits.
So you can chose based on fashion, comfort, tactics, or personal preference how you want to carry your weapon. As long as you have your valid Carry Permit and ID on your person, you can legally carry just about anywhere in the country.
I've carried my pistol openly in government offices, military installations, malls, supermarkets, sports arenas, and synagogues. I've even been to political functions and open carried with our current Prime Minister in the room.
Edited to add:
From the same blog, here's the kind of article you won't see our MSM.....and something the antis claim is impossible anyway:
Armed civilians kill terrorist in Jerusalem
An Arab Terrorist armed with a Kalashnikov Rifle and a bomb vest infiltrated the Merkaz HaRav Yeshiva library tonight at 20:40, and opened automatic fire in all directions at the scores of rabbinical students there. After several minutes, 40-year-old Rabbi Yitzchak Dadon, shot the attacker in the head with his personal weapon. David Shapira, a graduate, heard the shots from his nearby home, ran to the yeshiva and "finished [the terrorist] off."
The Terrorist was resident of the south Jerusalem suburb and was an Israeli citizen. His bomb vest did not detonate.
Once again armed civilians managed to prevent a terrorist from killing many more.
Schools should always allow legally armed civilians on campus to act as a deterrent and to protect the unarmed.
Current reports, six dead, more injured, and a tragedy was prevented.
