Israel is opening up its carry-permit rules so it can arm more law-abiding civilians.
“Many civilians saved lives during terror attacks in an era of ‘lone terrorism,’ Erdan said in a statement. “The more skilled civilians carrying weapons, the greater the chance of thwarting attacks without casualties and reducing the number of casualties.”
In the age of lone-wolf terror attacks, law-abiding lone-wolf defenders are seen as the best first responders.
Imagine that?
