They own Webley's and S&W revolvers simply because they do not know any better.

This was tagged earlier here also -- penpusher Badal did one better has LLama 32 pistol..
But look at their reasoning :
1. Kashitrya
2. Family tradition
3. need it for safety
4. I live in Bihar

What about common folks dont they have the same reasons? :deadhorse:

The best reason to own a gun - "I want one, it's none of your business why, I have no previous record of violent crime - so just bug*3r off Mr. Policeman!" :evil:

+2 to you Abhijeet!

I note:
Margaret Alva: Congress MP. Magnum .357 revolver
So the woman on the list gets a .357? Interesting, as I would interpret this as her definitely being informed and ready to do "business"!

To bad we cannot find a youtube video of her practice sessions.
