In India females are not safe from womb to road ..... total lack of moral ethics
Both of you are a little misinformed. You can legally buy ARMS in India for Self-Defence.

In Delhi the Police have a tendency of denying licenses if your stated need is "protection of person or property and private security", unless you can "show cause" in terms of a justifiable and real threat to life or property. Their logic is that Delhi is a well policed city and you don't really need a gun for self-defence. You will also be (almost certainly) asked to produce income proof documents in such cases
I hear that you don't get them easily. Plus, minimum age for gun license is 21 years, so those younger cannot get one. So, pepperspray and tasers are cheaper and easier to obtain IMHO.
I do think that if all women had guns, this problem would have been long resolved. Thought it might bring up new problems, but that is another story.

What can I say?
There seems to be another problem with this self defence. I remember a case in mumbai where a girl was being harassed & the friend of hers shot that man...he got in a lot of trouble & had a hard time explaining that it was for self defence...so proving it in court that it was an act in self defence is a pain
That's a good point raised by you.
Even it becomes difficult for a Police Officer himself to prove in a court of law that he fired at the criminal in Self - defense. ( that is, the criminal fired at him first )
So, for a normal citizen it is too much difficult to proof unless you have trust worthy eye witnesses to prove your self defense case in Indian Court trial.
This brings to one very important factor as well. Misuse of Revolver [ like in the recent case of American School shoot out ].
The best GIRLs and BOYs should carry is pepper sprays.
And
Very Important to see around you before you take a ride on the public bus. The girl who was raped, was actually not traveling in a normal Public Bus. It was a school bus taking a random run on the street, which apparently picked up the unfortunate girl who had to go through all the act of pain and suffering.
So, its my humble appeal to all GIRLs and BOYs to look around first, confirm the correct bus / auto / taxi before you board into one.
- Always note the Auto Number / Driver's Name in your mobile or elsewhere during the journey.
- Always note the Taxi Number / Driver's Name in your mobile or elsewhere during the journey.
- Always confirm the Route No. of the BUS / its colors / make and model / even the license plate before you board into one.
- Always take a public bus for its designated Bus Stop / Bus Stand / Bus Station.
- Do not board an EMPTY bus / with few male passengers.
^ Too much things to do for some A-holes. Nowadays along with education one should learn how to defend these garbages.
Well AP has more crime against women than any other state. Also south Indian states are no better when it comes toc rime against women.While it may be wrong to label people, it is a fact that North Indian cities - specially Delhi - are a lot less safer than South India. I have lived in Delhi and Hyderabad for many years - and the difference is instantly noticeable in the way both these cities treat women. (disclosure - I am a "North Indian"). Perhaps there are some sociological reasons for that, but it is a fact.
The protection of law and proper legal procedure should be the right of normal people - it should not be extended to perverts. Summary and exemplary punishment is NEEDED - the fear of law should be instilled till such time that people become really "educated" and realize that every human being has the same right to exist. Just see the above video - this happened right in front of a camera. Which law protects those perverts - what justification can they give for this act?
