Women, Guns and Civilization

تنسيق-الكليات-لعام سكس نيك كس

This is especially meaningful for those of us whose wives carry a firearm daily.



For a law-abiding citizen to bear personal arms is an act of civilization.

Not just an act of self-defense or an act in defense of civilization, but an act of civilization.

This is true for men and it is even more true for women. For a woman to bear personal arms means that she will not be deprived of her legal rights: to go any lawful place she pleases at any time; to be free in her body, meaning that she need not be defenseless against assailants; to live. And it means that the uncivilized, those who would deprive her of life and the liberties of a free citizen, including freedom from unwanted sexual contact, do so at absolute risk to their lives.

That is the fundamental moral principle.

Israeli Arabs with Guns

تنسيق-الكليات-لعام سكس نيك كس

Former CIA director James Woolsey at the Aspen Institute’s Aspen Ideas Festival, which included a day of panels on different aspects of the current state of the Middle East, said there are a million Arabs in Israel, accounting for one-sixth of the Israeli population, and that “generally they enjoy the guarantees that Americans look for in the Bill of Rights.”

If he only knew...

It's what we call a Democracy. Yes, it's important for us to maintain our identity as the only Jewish country, but we are still a democracy.

Arabs citizens of Israel have the same rights as Jews.

Street signs and official documentation are in Arabic and Hebrew.


David Ben Gurion Blvd, in Hebrew, Arabic and English
Israeli ID Card, in Hebrew and Arabic
Israeli License Plate badge in English, Hebrew and Arabic

Israeli License Plate

Arabs vote in municipal, regional and national elections. Basically all of the same rights that Jews have...

Arabs also have the right to bear arms. Yup. Just like every other Israeli citizen, irregardless of race, religion, etc.

Arab Cab drivers, bank guards, EMS crew, shooting instructors, hunters, anyone that passes Israel's stringent licensing process is issued a carry permit.

In addition Arabs serve in the Israeli Parliament, IDF, Police, and Border guard.

IDF Arab Seviceman made the ultimate sacrifice for Israel

Why Do You Carry a Gun?

تنسيق-الكليات-لعام سكس نيك كس


Some answers from readers:


I don't carry a gun to kill people.
I carry a gun to keep from being killed.

I don't carry a gun to scare people.
I carry a gun because sometimes this world can be a scary place.

I don't carry a gun because I'm paranoid.
I carry a gun because there are real threats in the world.

I don't carry a gun because I'm evil.
I carry a gun because I have lived long enough to see the evil in the world.

I don't carry a gun because I hate the government.
I carry a gun because I understand the limitations of government.

I don't carry a gun because I'm angry.
I carry a gun so that I don't have to spend the rest of my life hating myself for failing to be prepared.

I don't carry a gun because I want to shoot someone.
I carry a gun because I want to die at a ripe old age in my bed, and not on a sidewalk somewhere tomorrow afternoon.

I don't carry a gun because I'm a cowboy.
I carry a gun because, when I die and go to heaven, I want to be a cowboy.

I don't carry a gun to make me feel like a man.
I carry a gun because men know how to take care of themselves and the ones they love.

I don't carry a gun because I feel inadequate.
I carry a gun because unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I am inadequate.

I don't carry a gun because I love it.
I carry a gun because I love life and the people who make it meaningful to me.

Police Protection is an oxymoron. Free citizens must protect themselves.
Police do not protect you from crime, they usually just investigate the crime after it happens and then call someone in to clean up the mess.


So why do you carry a gun?

Email from reader

I received this email from a reader, via facebook.

I read some of the posts on your blog. Happened to stumble upon it while looking for libertarians on facebook. I have a question for you but you may or may not take offense to it. Many gun control advocates in government happen to be Jewish, senator Schumer from NY state (my state) being one of them. Obviously, Jews in Israel enjoy the freedom to carry with them pretty much everywhere they go. I would guess that violent crime, outside of palestinian attacks, is infrequent and people are not just shooting at each other wildly.

How would you address or what would you say to these senators, who probably have a connection with Israel, about the benefits of an armed populace?

Although you had a recent corruption scandal in Israel, I am guessing with the average citizen packing fully automatic military style weaponry, you do not have to worry about the government encroaching on your rights as much as we in the US do where we are limited to semi automatics or single shot bolt/pump action rifles. Our cops are even allowed to have military weapons and that is a scary thing as many are power hungry bottom feeders.

When a population has no recourse in defending themselves, property, rights from encroachment, it will not remain free for long. I am happy to see you might show some solidarity with 2nd amendment supporters in the USA. Israel should be a case study in how an armed populace can thrive without descending into total chaos.

He's absolutely correct. I do support the 2nd amendment, and armed law abiding citizens defending themselves everywhere.

Israel does have some fairly restrictive gun laws, but they don't negate the rights of the general populace from arming and defending ourselves. An armed populace, as you can see in Israel, is a safe one.

Israel's Chief Rabbis: No Problem with Carrying Weapons During Prayer

Prior to the upcoming week long Passover festival, Chief Rabbis of Israel, Rabbi Yonah Metzger and Rabbi Shlomo Amar, reminded the public that there is no prohibition against carrying a weapon during prayers. And it "makes it possible for every home in Israel to celebrate the holidays" in security.


(Me Praying at the Western Wall)






So get out your guns, and bring them to Synagogue, it's holiday time in Israel.

Some people think Americans are armed to the teeth

An Israeli blogger sent me this photo essay.

Apparently this is how they think all Americans live.

If this is how all Americans live then you must be doing something right!

Hero silenced by the liberal media

As you may remember, Rabbi Yitzchak Dadon shot the terrorist at Merkaz HaRav Yeshiva High School in Jerusalem last week.

You probably haven't heard his name since. Why? After all he is a hero.

Apparently the liberal media don't like heroes that speak the truth. He made a major media blunder. The reporters of Israel’s television stations enthusiastically interviewing the hero of the evening in a live broadcast got more than they bargained for.

Rabbi Dadon insisted on associating the massacre in the yeshiva with Shimon Peres (currently the President of Israel and one of the architects of the failed Oslo peace plan that armed the terrorists), and with Ehud Olmert, Israel's current Prime minister, who has picked up where Peres left off.

The two reporters quickly cut Rabbi Dadon off, attempting to censor him.

The media was in a bind. The hero said all the wrong things. But they quickly found a solution. David Shapira, the yeshiva graduate who continued to shoot the terrorist after Rabbi Dadon had already severely wounded or possibly killed him, became the new hero. He was perfect for the part. He is still serving in the IDF (he was on a weekend furlough at the time) and cannot give interviews and say embarrassing forbidden truths in live national news broadcasts.

There you have it. Another hero silenced by the liberal press.

Women of the IDF

For some reason IDF Women fascinate my readers.
I've received lots of requests to post this one.

The IDF has many opportunities for young women. From combat to support positions. As shooters and shooting instructors.

Here are some videos showing the women of the IDF in action.

Guns In Israel, More Questions From Readers

Red wanted to know, "How difficult is it for an Israeli citizen to obtain a carry permit?"

Israeli citizens over the age of 21, regardless of race and religion, are entitled to apply for a Carry Permit. That means that here in Israel, there are Arabs, many of whom are related to known terrorists, walking around with legal handguns.

The powers that be here in Israel understand that more guns in the hands of law abiding citizens means better security for all. So they issue carry permits on an as needed basis to everyone over 21 that has a valid need.

Valid need can be a business need (if you deal in large amounts of cash, diamonds...), Security guards, and anyone living in a dangerous area (small towns, border areas, etc), Volunteer Auxiliary Police, etc.

Ambulance drivers, paramedics, firemen, mail carriers, all are issued pistol permits almost automatically.

The license process takes 3 months. Your health, mental stability, and criminal background are thoroughly checked. And new immigrants need 3 years of citizenship prior to obtaining a carry permit.

If you have any questions, let me know and I'll try and answer them.

Guns, at the Western Wall


I was at the Western Wall the other day and had my 13 year old son take a few pictures with his camera/phone.


The Western Wall is open to the public. And is usually packed with tourists.


People from all over the world come to pray at the Western Wall.


On any given day you can hear dozens of different languages.


The entire area is well guarded and there are several layers of security. The Police and Border Patrol are there in force. ID checks, carry permit
verification, the works.



Israeli civilians come to pray three times a day.




Yes, even at Judaisms holiest site there are guns.

Girls and Guns

Women and guns have been inexplicably linked throughout American history, but a recent spurt in female gun-ownership begs a closer examination into what's driving this trend.

A Girl and A Gun paints an illuminating portrait of the rarely seen female gun community through the intimate stories of several women touched by guns in very powerful ways.

Self-defense is a fundamental human right

Hattip http://waronguns.blogspot.com/

The Human Right of Self-Defense
Is there a human right to defend oneself against a violent attacker?
Is there an individual right to arms under international law?
Conversely, are governments guilty of human rights violations if they do not enact strict gun control laws, as the UN requires?

David B. Kopel, Paul Gallant, and Joanne D. Eisen have an article published in the Brigham Young University Journal of Public Law.

If you've got the time to read 136 pages, it is well written and informative.

If you're pressed for time like me, then you'll be happy to know that the article clearly states, "the overwhelming consensus among the sources of international law, from ancient times to the present, among diverse legal systems, religions, and nations: self-defense is a fundamental human right."

Questions From Readers

Lately I’ve been getting lots of questions from readers via email.
I guess I should have thought of that before I posted my email address on my blog.
Many of the questions are in regards to living in Israel, specifically to guns.
I’ll try and answers as many of your questions as I can…

I carry a Glock17 in a Foubus pancake holster on my right hip. It’s comfortable, easy to get to sitting or standing, and extremely visible. My carry permit allows me to carry. Period!

No, if someone sees it you can loose your permit junk.

The laws here in Israel are extremely restrictive, but have some elements of common sense. All weapons are listed, registered and individually licensed. The Ministry of Interior is responsible for the licensing of weapons and Gun Shops. I applied for and was issued a carry permit back in the 1980’s when I was still on active IDF duty. Every 5 years I am required to pass a physical and mental health check, criminal background check, qualify at the range, and pay a renewal fee for my carry permit.

I do not have, and can’t get a backup pistol. Although I am a Reserve Office (Captain) and have a M16A1 military issue rifle that I have “signed out” from the military, for civil defense, I am still only allowed 1 handgun carry permit, for my single pistol.

Mrs. DoubleTapper has her own Glock 26. We are not allowed to carry each other’s pistols.
That’s it one pistol per person, very few exceptions. But if you aren’t crazy, a criminal, or too infirm to carry, you can apply and get a permit to carry.

Who carries weapons in Israel?

Servicemen and women, on duty and off, in uniform or not. Reservists, Cops, Ambulance Drivers, Firemen, Teachers, Security Guards, Businessmen, and anyone else that has a valid carry permit. Jews, Arabs, and Christians (and everyone else) all carry weapons.

Rifles are generally issued by the IDF and carried by Servicemen and Reservists, although if you live in an area deemed by the Government to be a high risk (that’s almost every small town in Israel today) you can be issued a rifle for civil defense.

I'll add some more posts answering your questions later...

Feel free to email me DoubleTapper (at) Gmail.com or leave a comment with any questions.

Tomorrow, I return home video

One of my readers sent me this video. It's a tribute to the IDF. It shows all of the branches in action.

Here are the lyrics:

A century has passed,
each hour is hard for me.
You have surely changed,
but I haven't closed my eyes.
This is the end of the journey
only you I'll want to see.
So I come to you,
with sharpened eyes
because I saw how resentment
takes me to a place
where people had lost it all.

Wait till I return, tomorrow I'll be home.
I'm through fixing the world, in a land of arguing.
Wait till I return, it's good to be home.
All were brothers in their blood,
The road back is beautiful.

I don't want to be a hero,
to you I wanted to tell how during the black light,
somebody watches over,
He hides between the clouds,
but leaves behind hope,
for days that are nicer, the days of love.
I don't want any more pain in the eyes,
this pain will be defeated in love.

Wait till I return, tomorrow I'll be home.
I'm through fixing the world, in a land of arguing.
Wait till I return, it's good to be home.
All were brothers in their blood,
The road back is beautiful.


And in Hebrew:

כבר עברו מאה שנה כל שעה קשה עלי
את ודאי לא ישנה לא עצמתי את עיני
זה סופו של המסע
רק אותך ארצה לראות
אז אלייך אני בא בעיניים לטושות
כי ראיתי איך טינה אותי לוקחת
למקום שבני אדם איבדו הכל

חכי לי שאחזור מחר אני בבית
נמאס לי לתקן עולם בארץ יריבה
חכי לי שאחזור טוב להיות בבית
כולם היו אחים בדם
יפה הדרך חזרה

לא רוצה להיות גיבור לך רציתי לספר
איך בלילה השחור מישהו שומר
הוא מסתתר בין עננים אבל משאיר לנו תקווה
לימים יותר יפים ימים של אהבה
לא רוצה יותר את הכאב שבעיניים
הכאב הזה יובס באהבה

חכי לי שאחזור מחר אני בבית
נמאס לי לתקן עולם בארץ יריבה
חכי לי שאחזור טוב להיות בבית
כולם היו אחים בדם
יפה הדרך חזרה
