GUN owners should roam the streets at night and use their weapons to prevent crimes against women, Delhi's lieutenant governor has said, in the wake of the brutal gang rape and murder of a student in the capital.
Tejendra Khanna, who heads the national capital's police department, on Friday urged gun-owning residents to put their weapons to "social service" and scare away potential molesters, The Indian Express reported on Saturday.
"Gun owners with licences must roam lonely spots like bus stands each night and if they spot someone harassing a woman, they should use their weapon to stop the crime," the federal administrator said in a speech.
"They can at least spend an hour or so every day with their friends in public after nightfall," Khanna said, according to the Indian Express.
The opposition Bharatiya Janata Party condemned Khanna's remarks, saying "citizens should not be advised to take their law into their own hands in any situation".
The Geneva-based Small Arms Survey estimates India is home to 40 million civilian-owned firearms of an estimated 650 million worldwide.
Just 6.3 million Indian arms are registered.
Khanna's remarks came as Indian President Pranab Mukherjee said in a Friday speech that the December 16 attack on the student who died of massive internal injuries "has left our hearts empty and our minds in turmoil".
Police say rape cases in New Delhi jumped 23.4 per cent to 706 in 2012 from a year earlier, highlighting rampant crime against women in the sprawling metropolis of 16 million people.
The murder of the 23-year-old student ignited street protests and calls for harsher punishments for rapists.
Five men are on trial for the rape and killing while a sixth has said he is under 18 and that his case should be heard in juvenile court.
New Delhi is known as the most unsafe major Indian city for women with more than twice as many rape cases registered in 2011 than in commercial hub Mumbai.

+12I know what I would do-----I'd carry, law or no law against it. NOBODY will do anything to me against my will ever again!
I look at it as a temporary deputizing.
He knows that they cannot provide adequate protection, he knows that he has armed citizens, and he hopes that they will do right by others and help those in need.
if it takes a gun to do that, then so be it. Kinda wish that our country would realize that a cop isn't everywhere you need them to be and that sometimes a bystander, with a gun, may be your only means of support.
Here's a link to a story that illustrates this

India is a country steeped in corruption and abuse there is an institutionalised part of life. They have their untouchables and the abuse of females is a given. As a matter of fact they burn them alive if they have a problem with them. It is easy to see why with crap like this coming from a person holding such high office...
Pakistan has a 15% excess of men, they have an advantage over India because they can export some of the excess to the Middle East as slave labor.
China has a 15-20% excess of men.
These men will never marry. Violence is higher with these imbalances. And they are eventual cannon fodder, expendable, and will be used in future battles. Nature doesn't give two hoots about political correctness or culture (India pretends to be so conservative, but nature has a different answer, it has one of the highest AIDS rates in the world).
Some 30 countries have abnormal sex ratios
If you are a women, stay away from these places. If you are a women and live in these places, have some baby girls. If someone wants to rape you, shoot them, the are expendable and will never marry.
and a very small amount of the people are Muslim..maybe 10%... I believe that this is more to do with what Pedro posted above.. the huge imbalance of men over women in the country..
My question is what has led to this kind of thinking in these males ??
