Mr Sandeep, So? What if his family had received threats? Does that justify him illegally acquiring arms? There R other Legal recourse available. He could even have applied for licence to acquire, carry and use arms (that is if he really felt a need to bearmed.)He could have tried for police protection (at least that is all what a comon lawabiding citizen in India can do). Nothing certainly justifies acquiring illegal arms ... Dont you think so?
