Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat on Thursday called on residents who are licensed to carry weapons to do so on a daily basis. "...weapons increases the confidence of residents, who know that in addition to police there are many people who are not afraid to intervene. If we look at the statistics in Jerusalem and elsewhere, we see that aside from the police, civilians carrying weapons have foiled terrorist attacks. They will increase the likelihood of fast intervention." Said Mayor of Jerusalem Nir Barkat. On Wednesday, the Commander of the Ashdod police, Chief Superintendent Noam Shekel, also called on residents who have a weapons permit to carry them.
