As life expectancy improves, the number of 60-plus individuals is estimated to cross 100 million by 2013. The proportion of 60-plus in the total population was 6.8 per cent in 1991 and it will be over 8.9 per cent in 2016. Delhi alone has a population of five million ‘financially secure’ senior citizens. Over 170,000 are old couples living alone. As enormous numbers of young, educated Indians move abroad parting old parents behind, or moves to different parts of country. Not all of individuals left behind want to go after their children abroad or other parts of country and many of those who do are not exactly in love with the experience so they returns. Many find social interaction difficult. Anyways, I am not going to talk about the responsibility of youth towards their old parents, nor I am going to mention the Amitabh Bachchan starred movie BaghBan. I don’t intend to talk about Retirement homes or retirement resorts or new-age retirement senior citizen communes. It’s not always that the senior citizens have been driven out of oppressive homes or treated badly by offspring and relatives. More and more, the aged are discovering that they need a place that will give them security and camaraderie without the sacrifice of personal space. And yes, I am talking about the security of individuals, not only the security of old citizens living alone, but security of any individual in any circumstance. Although every city is facing the growth of senior citizens to some level, Delhi Police has taken some initiatives regarding the security of senior citizens in proper manner. To increase the efficiency, help lines and Senior Citizen’s Security Cell have been established with a proper set up for the identification of senior citizens living alone in NCR, proper verification of employees particularly domestic servants is also provided by the police, while the Police Station House Officers and Beat Staff is instructed to periodically visit the residence area of senior citizens. The officers of Senior Citizen Security Cell keeps proper contact on either personal level or via phone lines to increase the feeling of security and emotional support for each identified senior citizen and proper educative and informative meet ups and liaisons program to educate them about their safety and welfare related laws are also been held. But above all this, the provision of Gun for the purpose of self-defense is not free and easy. Overwhelming historical substantiation and simple logic make it obvious that guns which are often termed as the “great equalizer,” for noticeable reasons are a potent means of self-defense in the valuable moments prior to police to arrive and take hold of situation. Police can’t remain always with the senior citizens, and Delhi along with NCR is a BIG area. It is even not palpable to think that Police along with some private security system alone can guarantee the protection of a senior citizen living alone. But it is not only about the senior citizens alone Governments are formed to look after our individual civil rights to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” The right of self-defense is incorporated and implied in the right to life. The right of self-defense is common sense. In creating a government, citizens entrust the task of defending themselves to the police. But to entrust is not to surrender. Each citizen retains the vital right to protect himself in emergencies when his prearranged agents, the police, or some private security service are not available to help. Hand Guns are lethal weapons. Many objects generally owned for nonviolent purposes can be used for urgent situation self-defense. But dissimilar to kitchen knives or cricket bats or some iron rod, handguns have no nonviolent use; they are intended to exterminate people. The same dangerous power proves handguns as the main realistic way of self-defense against robbers, rapists, and murderers. Handguns are lethal power and nothing. This fact gives rise to genuine concerns over their personal ownership in an elegant society. Opposing to a frequently articulated worry, a right to keep and abide arms in no way indicates that citizens may build up stocks of weaponry in accordance with their illogical preferences. Bombs, Cannons, tanks, and nuclear weapons don’t have any valid use in a personal emergency and self-defense, and their very presence is a threat to calm neighborhood. If handguns are limited to self-defense in crisis, then keeping other sorts of weapons can be banned by government, while the handguns can be free to be used for proper safety-purpose in emergency situations against looters, rapists or criminals during emergency. Prohibiting keeping of Handguns won’t stop the criminals to have guns and other weapons in anyway, yet it will contravene upon a law-abiding citizen’s right in crisis to fend off attackers and bullies who are exercising knives, clubs, fists–or cans of soda brutally. I support the allowance of handguns more easily for self-defense purposes. It is becoming a need. Self-defense is my right, as it is everybody else’s. An appropriate lawful system recognizes and protects that right, by allowing private possession of handguns. . Related post:- The Shootout [...] [...] India is growing old.
