It’s left over from British rule where the police and security forces were not issued ammunition until bosses approved. <BR/><BR/>I have always seen FNFAL rifles with inserted magazines but I never inspected one nor have I seen the magazines outside of the rifles. They well may have been empty. <BR/><BR/>I did see police with Ruger Security-Six revolvers with ammunition visible but was it the real deal? Smoke and mirrors are everywhere. Police shootings in India are nearly unheard of. Perhaps this is the reason. <BR/><BR/>The blame may yet shift to the politicians. <BR/><BR/>I have seen Indian civilians shooting skeet with shotguns and with .32 caliber handguns on a range. I know that civilians can own suitable firearms in their home under complicated legal conditions.Crimefilehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07841397705805774698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19929098.post-69072938399858081942008-11-29T18:04:00.000-08:002008-11-29T18:04:00.000-08:00I just read on another forum that some of the cops in Mumbai were armed with rifles, yet took no action when the terrorists were in the midst of their killing spree. Supposedly, the reason was not cowardice or anything like that. They allegedly had no ammunition to go along with those rifles. <BR/>You've been there Paul. During your talks with the Indian coppers, is this plausible or just some internet bullcrap?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
