When I was there about thirty years ago,some civilians,working as volunteer guards where crowds might be,such as a movie theatre, had M1 carbines.

You can still see M-1 carbines in Israel. Carried by security guards on buses and, believe it or not, by the police. Less frequent than before but if you look hard enough one or two will appear.

In the last year,a good friend who lives there,thought about getting a handgun.With being a reserve officer possessing the rank of captain(it's captain or higher),it would not have been too difficult.However with grandkids in the house and an anti-gun wife,he decided not to pursue it.

He would have obtained his permit fairly easily by Israeli standards.
