While there are some gun control laws in Israel that are ridiculously draconian, and according to the link, no concealed carry, it’s also true that in Israel guns are ubiquitous.
Here’s an interesting story:
“In 1984, three terrorists opened fire on a Jerusalem crowd with machine guns. Half a dozen shopkeepers and pedestrians drew weapons and returned fire.
One terrorist was shot dead by a jewelry store proprietor. The other two fled and were later captured.
“We didn’t expect to find armed civilians,” one of the gunmen later admitted”
