Golden Triangle tour with Varanasi and Khajuraho is a dream voyage for anyone who is absolutely in awe with India's incredible cultural wealth. The itinerary unfurls wonderfully as you travel from one of the world's oldest inhabited cities Varanasi to 'ahead-of-their-time' monuments of Khajuraho where the art of lovemaking has been explicitly engraved contrary to India's conservative culture. Gwalior which lies on the route makes a brief appearance in the itinerary to flaunt the colossal Gwalior Fort, popularly known as the Gibraltar of India.
And then, you embark on the Golden Triangle journey discovering the resplendent heritage at all the three nooks. Delhi, the city that featured in Mahabharata as Indraprastha and later became the subject of a power struggle among the biggest dynasties, promises a spectacular showcase of Mughal Architecture and modern British-era heritage. Agra, which preserves the Mughal legacy in the form of larger-than-life monuments, boasts of Taj Mahal and other specimens of equally enthralling architecture. Jaipur, the glorious Pink City is known for Rajput heritage, has hilltop forts, stunning palaces and temples and colorful bazaars to its credit. In short, the package promises a cultural expedition with some great memories to take back home.
Day by Day itineraryDay 1: Arrival at Delhi
Golden Triangle tour with Varanasi and Khajuraho begins as soon as you arrive in Delhi.
Starting from the mythological Indraprastha and Hastinapur mentioned in Mahabharata to the modern Lutyens' Delhi built in British Era, the city bears stamps of multiple settlements and establishments spanning over thousands of years. The present day fortifications began in the 8th century when Tomar Rulers established Lal Kot and continued under the rule of Prithviraj Chauhan, Delhi Sultanate and Mughal Empire.Resultantly, there are forts, mosques, tombs, temples and historical sites testifying Delhi's encounter with multiple cultures.
In addition, there are museums, art galleries, well-laid gardens, architecturally brilliant government buildings, traditional bazaars and ultramodern malls, multiplexes, amusement parks etc. that confirm Delhi's sync with changing times.
On arrival, check in at the pre-booked hotel and take some rest. Depending on the time of your arrival, you might be able to visit few of the tourist attractions in the city.
Qutb Complex consists of Delhi Sultanates monuments, the most prominent one being Qutb Minar, the 72.5 m high 5-storey minaret which is also a World Heritage Site. Other prominent attractions within the complex include Iron Pillar, the metallurgical wonder that stands rust-free for hundreds of years, tombs, mosques and palaces built in Indo-Islamic style.
Humayun's Tomb, the resting place of Mughal Emperor Humayun, is another World Heritage Site in Delhi and often considered as the pre-cursor to Taj Mahal. With its red sandstone and marble construction amidst an elegant Persian-style Charbagh garden, the monument is immensely visually pleasing.
Lotus Temple is another wonder in Delhi, known for its lotus-petals-like white marble construction amidst nine water pools that are surrounded by lush green lawns. Watch its magnificence when flood-lit in the evening.
Finally, return to hotel for night stay.
Day 2: Delhi-Varanasi (By Air in about 1.25 hr.)
On the second day of Golden Triangle tour with Varanasi and Khajuraho, we take you to the holy city of Varanasi.

River Ganga, considered extremely pious by Hindus, flow through the city and facilitates numerous religious rituals associated with birth and death. There are more than 80 ghats on the bank of the river, bustling with devotees and a variety of activities.

Get back to the hotel for night stay.
Day 4: Varanasi-Khajuraho (By Air in about 1 hr.)
After breakfast, we take you to explore the Hindu temples of Varanasi.
Kashi Vishwanath Temple is not just the most prominent temple in the city, but also among the most revered temples dedicated to Shiva in the whole world. Ransacked by the Muslim invaders numerous times and rebuilt every time, the temple boasts of pure gold domes and spires and houses one of the 12 Jyotirlingas (a form of Shiva Lingam worshipped as the endless pillar of light). It is believed that bathing in Ganga and visiting the temple helps one get rid of sins and achieve salvation.
Another popular temple in the city is Kaal Bhairav Temple dedicated to the fierce form of Shiva, known as Bhairava. According to mythology, Bhairav decapitated one of the 5 heads of Lord Brahma in rage and dropped it here to get rid of the sin.
You may also visit other popular temples like Sankat Mochan Hanuman temple, Durga Kunda Temple, Birla Temple and Mrityunjay Mahadev Temple.
You may also take leisurely strolls along the ghat, explore old Varanasi on foot and visit the Banaras Hindu University (more than 100 years old, regarded as Asia's largest residential university).

Finally, get back to the hotel for night stay.
Day 5: Khajuraho Sightseeing Continues
As the 5th day of Golden Triangle tour with Varanasi and Khajuraho begins, we take you to Western Group of Temples at Khajuraho.
Lakhmana Temple is probably the most important in the group as it is adorned with beautiful sculptures of Hindu deities, animals and others. Kandariya Mahadev Temple is the largest in Khajuraho and the most lavishly carved one. Other temples include Devi Jagdamba Temple and Chausanth Yogini Temple.
In the evening, you may choose to attend the scintillating Sound and Light Show (both in Hindi and English) narrated by none other than the Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan.
The show provides great facts about the temples and their history. Finally, retire to the hotel for night stay.
Day 6: Khajuraho-Gwalior (about 281 km. by Road)
Leave Khajuraho and drive to Gwalior, a historical city which still retains the royal charm of being the capital of an erstwhile princely state.
Before you arrive at Gwalior, we briefly stop at Orchha, the historical town on the bank of River Betwa and founded by Bundela Rajputs.
Explore the sprawling Orchha Fort Complex which boasts of beautiful royal palaces like Raj Mahal, Jehangir Mahal and Rai Parveen Mahal. Other attractions of the town include Ram Raja Temple, Chaturbhuj Temple, Phool Bagh and numerous chatris (cenotaphs) stunningly dotting the bank of Betwa.
Resume the drive to reach Gwalior. The city is dominated by the massive Gwalior Fort, usually referred to as the Pearl in the Necklace of Indian Forts.
Interestingly, the city exhibits monuments and buildings inspired by multiple architectural styles, like Rajput, Maratha, Mughal, Chinese, Italian, Tuscan, Russian and Corinthian.
On arrival, check in at the pre-booked hotel and take some rest. Later, you may visit the top attractions like Jai Vilas Palace and Museum which is well-known for its lavish Durbar Hall adorned with crystal staircases, plush carpets, beautiful chandeliers and artwork with gold leaves.

Day 7: Gwalior Fort Sightseeing-Drive to Agra (120 km. by Road)

In addition, there are Hindu temples like Sas-Bahu Temple (a pyramidal red sandstone beauty) and Teli ka Mandir (built using North and South Indian architectural fusion). Another highlight of the complex is the rock cut Siddhachal Jain Temple Caves featuring high rock idols of Jain Tirthankaras.
Continue the Golden Triangle tour with Varanasi and Khajuraho and drive to Agra, one of the three destinations of Golden Triangle circuit.
Located on the bank of River Yamuna, Agra exists since the times of Mahabharata though it gained limelight as the capital of Mughal Empire. Mughal monuments across the city are the epitome of architectural excellence as well as striking grandeur.
On arrival, check in at the pre-booked hotel and take some rest. Later, we take you to Taj Mahal - the white marble wonder that has nothing to its parallel. Recognized as a World Heritage Site, one of the World's Seven Wonders and a love icon, it was built by Shah Jahan in the memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal.
Adorned with captivating inlay work, reflective tiles, marble latticework and many other decorative elements, the monument is sure to leave you spellbound.

Day 8: Agra-Jaipur (240 km. by Road) via Fatehpur Sikri

About 36 km. from Agra, stop at Fatehpur Sikri which is yet another World Heritage Site. Built with the intention to serve as the capital of Mughal Empire under the rule of Akbar, the town was only briefly inhabited due to water shortage and other reasons.
The main tourist complex consists of remarkable red sandstone and white marble edifices that further extend the majesty of Mughal heritage. The most notable of the structures are Buland Darwaza, Diwan-i-Aam, Diwan-i-Khas, Panch Mahal, Ibadat Khana, Jama Masjid and Tomb of Slaim Chishti.
Resume the drive as we take you to another culturally-rich destination of Golden Triangle tour with Varanasi and Khajuraho – the Pink City of Jaipur. The capital of Rajasthan and one of India's most well-planned cities, Jaipur would let you take a break from Mughal Heritage and explore the treasure trove of equally mesmerizing Rajput heritage. The city's cultural riches are not confined to its architecture, but the colourful bazaars selling extraordinary ethnic handicrafts and mouth-watering cuisines add dramatically to its fame.
On arrival, check in at the pre-booked hotel and take rest.
If time allows, you may visit a couple of attractions like Hawa Mahal. The red and pink sandstone palace constructed for the royal women in 1799 has a peculiar pyramidal design with nearly a thousand jharokhas (small windows) lending a honeycomb-like appearance to it.
Next, you may visit Jal Mahal which is built in the middle of Man Sagar Lake and enjoys the beautiful backdrop of Aravalli Hills.
Unfortunately, you can view it only from outside.
Finally, get back to the hotel for night stay.
Day 9: Jaipur Sightseeing Continues
Get up early as we take you to the World Heritage Site called Amber (Amer) Fort which is located on a hill called Cheel ka Teela in the Aravalli Range and accessible via jeeps and elephants.
You may enjoy a thrilling elephant ride to reach the fort which is a spectacular structure boasting of multiple palaces, courtyards and temples and exquisite marble and mirror work. Discover the attractions like Ganesh Pol, Tripolia Gate, Sheesh Mahal, Man Singh Palace and more.
Enjoy the captivating views of Maota Lake, Saffron Garden and lush green surroundings.
Next, you visit Jaigarh Fort which is connected to Amber Fort and located on the same hill. Here, you would find Jaivana Canon (once the largest canon on wheels in the world) and collections of armoury and artefacts belonging to the royal lineage displayed at the museum.
After you descend back to the main city, we recommend you to visit the best places for Shopping in Jaipur selling irresistible items like kundan jewellery, lac bangles, embroidered fabrics, mojris (traditional footwear), pottery, handbags, bandhani work, enamel work, block printing work, rugs, miniature paintings and much more.
Some popular bazaars in the city are Nehru Bazaar, Johari Bazaar, Bapu Bazaar and Tripolia Bazaar. Later, we take you to Chokhi Dhani, an ethnic Rajasthani village style restaurant which serves delicious cuisines like dal-baati-choorma, bajre ki roti, jalebi stc while entertaining through folk arts like folk dance and music, puppet shows, magic shows, acrobatics and more.
After another amazing day of ends, enjoy your night stay at the hotel.
Day 10: Jaipur-Delhi (280 km. by Road)
Leave Jaipur after breakfast and drive back to Delhi.
On arrival, check in at the pre-booked hotel and take some rest. Later, join us to visit some other tourist attractions in the city.
Start with Laal Qila or Red Fort which served as Mughal residence for more than 200 years and is a World Heritage Site.

Some of the top attractions inside the complex include Lahori Gate, Naubat Khana, Rang Mahal, Mumtaz Mahal, Moti Masjid and more.

Graham Leslie
I planned a South India tour from Chennai to Kochi. I asked from many different travel companies but I got the best and cheapest offer by 'Way to India'. That was two weeks travel plan. We visited so many wonderful places and we got enough time for some individual program too. In the first week we visited the historical places like temples, museums and some beaches. In the second week we visited amazing natural attraction. All happened at exactly fixed itinerary. We traveled with a comfortable panoramic mini bus and the bus driver (Mr. Ram) was very kind and talented who could manage a good restaurant for dinner and lunch every day. The recommended hotels were correct and better than the chosen category. The connecting with 'Way to India' was a great experience for us and Mr Mohit was very pleasant and flexible for our request. All in all believe that this was the best choice for traveling. I'm sure we'll go back in India again because we found many kind friends at there and we would like to organize travel again by 'way to India'. thanks for all you have done for us thank you so much

It took a year of planning to suit a budget and unique needs for 10 people. Patience and support for that one year and throughout the travel experience was excellent leaving no area wanting.
Thanks Mohit and team! Kamantha Peters
I am so delighted and grateful that I found Way to India. I was nervous about doing a trip by myself, as a young woman, in the Himalayas and it was important for me to find a trusted company to arrange my trip. I searched long and hard but once I spoke with Mohit at Way to India, I knew I found the perfect company. Every question I had or issue I needed help with was handled immediately, proficiently, with excellent service that really went above and beyond. All of the people connected with the company that I met or spoke with are extremely helpful, friendly and an absolute pleasure to deal with. The itinerary created was just perfectly tailored for what I wanted and was done with a lot of thought and care. They stayed connected with me through the entire trip to make sure everything was going well. Really, I did not have to worry or think about anything. I will use them every time I come back to India! I highly recommend to all my friends and family and to anyone who wants a memorable visit to India. Aditi Banerjee

PAUL MCCARTNEY: Previously unreleased versions of John Lennon-inspired 'DEAR FRIEND' available now
Previously unreleased home recorded & remastered
versions of the John Lennon-inspired track
'DEAR FRIEND'
Both available now as instant grats HERE
Taken from the forthcoming reissue of
Paul McCartney and Wings' 1971 debut album 'Wild Life'
Wild Life will be reissued alongside the 1973 album 'Red Rose Speedway' on December 7th
Both reissues are part of the ongoing Grammy-award winning Paul McCartney Collection
Today, to mark the forthcoming reissues of Paul McCartney's 11th and 12th classic works from his revered catalogue, 'Dear Friend', the John Lennon-inspired closing track to Paul McCartney And Wings' debut album 'Wild Life', has been made available to hear as two special instant grats. The first a remastered version, and the second a beautifully intimate unreleased home recording. The re-releases come fully remastered and expanded across multi format installments of his GRAMMY-winning Archive Collection, to be released December 7, 2018 via MPL/Capitol/UMe.
Speaking of the track, Paul comments "With 'Dear Friend', that's sort of me talking to John after we'd had all the sort of disputes about The Beatles break up. I find it very emotional when I listen to it now. I have to sort of choke it back. I remember when I heard the song recently, listening to the roughs [remastering works-in-progress] in the car. And I thought, 'Oh God'. That lyric: 'Really truly, young and newly wed'. Listening to that was like, 'Oh my God, it's true!' I'm trying to say to John, 'Look, you know, it's all cool. Have a glass of wine. Let's be cool.' And luckily we did get it back together, which was like a great source of joy because it would have been terrible if he'd been killed as things were at that point and I'd never got to straighten it out with him. This was me reaching out. So, I think it's very powerful in some very simple way. But it was certainly heartfelt."

The most recent previous installment was 2017's reissue of Paul's eighth studio album Flowers In The Dirt, which ROLLING STONE called "spectacular… an extraordinary document," and the OBSERVER hailed as "perhaps the greatest record to emerge from the world of AOR in 1989… an absolute pleasure to rediscover today."
Every release in the ongoing Paul McCartney Archive Collection is supervised by Paul himself, who oversees all aspects of each and every title from remastering to the curation of lost tracks, outtakes, artwork, photographs and video from his personal vaults, and much more. The result is one of the most ambitious and personal undertakings of its kind, one that encompasses more than 40 years of cherished, classic material from the most successful songwriter and recording artist in music history.

"Come On To Me" (Official Video)
Over the past week, Paul has introduced us to three nightshift workers who all share a love of dancing to 'Come On To Me', the latest track to be taken from his new studio album 'Egypt Station' (Capitol Records).
We've met Fred "Little Freddie" Maxwell (#COTMTeamFred) who loves hijacking the in-store sound system at the department store where he works as a security guard; Ali Almohri (#COTMTeamAli) who works at his family's food truck hoping that one day the young woman he has a crush on will notice he's looking for more than just casual conversation; and Elsa Morales (#COTMTeamElsa) who works two jobs to support her family whilst still managing to radiate good energy and be the epitome of positivity.
Ali Almohri
Elsa Morales
Today Paul reveals the official video for 'Come On To Me', bringing together all three stories / dance routines. Watch here – https://youtu.be/mSU4O7FzrRU
It may be a surprise to hear that Fred, Ali and Elsa are not professional dancers / actors – they were found by director TG Herrington, getting their acting debuts by sheer force of enthusiasm.
Paul now invites fans to film themselves dancing to 'Come On To Me' and to post videos to Instagram and Twitter using #COTMChallenge.
Currently on his worldwide Freshen Up Tour, Paul returns to the U.S in May 2019 for a string of U.S. shows beginning in New Orleans, LA.
Egypt Station was released in September and saw Paul score his first US #1 album in 36 years.

PAUL McCARTNEY EGYPT STATION ARRIVES AT #1
EGYPT STATION ARRIVES AT #1
Paul's First Ever U.S. #1 Solo Debut and Third Solo #1 Album
"**** Make a list of all the songwriters who were composing great tunes in 1958. Now make an overlapping list of the ones who are still writing brilliant songs in 2018. Your lists read: Paul McCartney." – Rolling Stone
Paul McCartney's Egypt Station (Capitol Records) has entered the Billboard 200 at #1, making it the third Non-Beatles/Wings McCartney effort to top the U.S. chart and Paul's first Stateside #1 since 1982's Tug Of War. Earning 153,000 equivalent album units, Egypt Station is Paul's first solo album to enter the chart at #1. Since beginning a new and profound direction on his creative journey with the 1970 release of his debut solo album, McCartney, Paul has sold over 100 million albums and singles worldwide.
The 18-time GRAMMY® winner launched Egypt Station with an intimate show at New York City's Grand Central Station on September 7, which was live streamed as a YouTube Originals concert special–available for viewing HERE. The previous evening, McCartney visited The TonightShow Starring Jimmy Fallon and performed his Top 10 AAA hit "Come On To Me."
Explaining the album's concept, Paul says, "I liked the words 'Egypt Station.'… I think of it as a dream location that the music emanates from." The title is taken from the piece of art featured on the cover, which Paul painted in 1988.
Egypt Station has won praise from critics around the world. In a four-star lead review, Rolling Stonesaid, "Macca keeps adding new gems to his songbook, with nothing to prove except he's the only genius who can do this… (And, oh yeah — in his spare time, he happens to still be the greatest live performer on Earth.)" London's Sunday Times, Q Magazine and MOJO also awarded the album four stars.
The New York Times' Jon Pareles observed, "McCartney contemplates mortality and pain while still trying to offer love and strength." TIME declared Egypt Station "Essential… a document of McCartney's spirit, which is still irrepressible more than five decades after the Beatles made their debut." NPR said, "This is his best album in maybe 20 years." People noted, "Egypt Station is a tour through the imagination of one of our greatest artists — what's not to love? It's a celebration of all the things that make McCartney great: hope, exuberance, open mindedness and sweet melody. These days, we need all of these more than ever."
GQ reveals "The Untold Stories of Paul McCartney" in the magazine's October cover story. Writer Chris Heath observed, "Paul McCartney is driven….If you imagine that by now McCartney might have reached the point where he would relax and look back with cozy satisfaction on his life's achievements… well, then you're already very wrong about both who Paul McCartney is and who he ever was." In thisaccompanying video, McCartney breaks down his most iconic songs. Cover stories have also run in the London Sunday Times Culture section and MOJO.
Additionally, Spotify has announced the release of Paul McCartney & Spotify Singles: Under the Staircase. Recorded at Paul's intimate Abbey Road Studio 2 gig earlier the summer, Under the Staircase features live versions of songs spanning Paul's entire career—Beatles, Wings, solo catalogue numbers plus some of the first live performances of Egypt Station material—plus a feature length concert film.
Paul will headline the Austin City Limits Music Festival on October 5 and 12. He will return to the U.S. in 2019 for the Freshen Up tour. See below for confirmed dates.

Today, Friday September 7th, sees the release of Paul McCartney's 17th solo album Egypt Station, which critics across the world are already hailing as a stellar addition to his peerless catalogue.
Egypt Station is the first full album of all-new McCartney music since 2013's international chart-topping NEW. The album was recorded between Los Angeles, London and Sussex, and produced (with the exception of one Ryan Tedder track) by Greg Kurstin (Adele, Beck, Foo Fighters).
Of the album's enigmatic title, Paul says, "I liked the words 'Egypt Station.' It reminded me of the 'album' albums we used to make… Egypt Station starts off at the station on the first song and then each song is like a different station. So it gave us some idea to base all the songs around that. I think of it as a dream location that the music emanates from."
True to the inspiration behind its title, Egypt Station's 14 songs combine to convey a unique travelogue vibe. Between the opening and closing instrumentals Station I and Station II, each song finds Paul capturing a place or moment before transporting the listener seamlessly to the next destination. Stops along the way include an acoustic meditation on present day contentedness (Happy With You), a timeless anthem that would fit on virtually any album of any McCartney era (People Want Peace), and an epic multi-movement closer clocking in at seven minutes with a song suite structure harkening back to the days of Paul's previous combos (Despite Repeated Warnings). The result is a kaleidoscopic journey through myriad musical locales and eras, yet firmly rooted in the here and now–with Paul's singular unmistakeable melodic and lyrical sensibility serving as a guide.
Paul began the journey to Egypt Station with his June appearance on Carpool Karaoke with James Corden, which has since set the record for most watched late night video on Facebook, with views of over 100 million.
The following month, July saw Paul bring traffic to a standstill in London when he crossed Abbey Road on his way into the iconic Abbey Road Studios to record a session for Spotify to be released sometime in the near future. A few days later, his next stop was his hometown of Liverpool where he visited LIPA (Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts, the site of the school Paul attended as a child) – Paul was interviewed by Jarvis Cocker of Pulp for an hour long Facebook Live chat. And as if that wasn't enough for one week – Paul drove fans wild when he announced a secret show the following day at The Cavern. Maccamania swept through the city as 200 lucky fans crammed into the tiny venue to watch Paul play a career spanning sets including brand new songs from Egypt Station. Global 5-star press reports described the show as a 'once in a lifetime experience'.
New York City was the next stop en route to Egypt Station: Following appearances on The Howard Stern Show, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and WTF with Marc Maron, this week will see another once in a lifetime experience for lucky fans in the US. To celebrate the release of the album and as part of a YouTube Original special, Paul will perform an intimate concert from New York tonight, to be streamed live on his YouTube channel. For those who can't tune in at 8:00 pm EST the show will live on Paul's YouTube channel after the event for fans to enjoy.

As a part of the newly structured executive board, Mr. Warren will help oversee the operations and financials of WPP.
"It is an honor to be a part of this well-established organization", says Gary Warren, ivWatch President & CEO. "My goal is to expand recognition for WPP beyond its current base of supporters. The countries and families served by WPP need access to the type of healthcare and surgery we expect and see as 'basic' here in the United States. This access could not be more immediate in many areas WPP serves due to the recent destruction caused by hurricanes and flooding."
ivWatch supported a surgical mission to St. Vincent and the Grenadines in 2016. The company was able to send a number of its medical devices to be used during and after surgery.

Herd Immunity Applies to Guns as Well as Vaccinations
By Paul Hsieh 2015-02-03T01:50:27
The recent measles outbreaks have sparked a national debate over vaccinations and the concept of "herd immunity." The basic idea behind herd immunity is that "the vaccination of a significant portion of a population provides a measure of protection for individuals who have not developed immunity."
The concept of "herd immunity" applies to gun ownership and crime rates just as it does to vaccinations and infectious disease.
Crime rates in Chicago dropped dramatically in 2014 after the state of Illinois allowed legal concealed carry. From the Washington Times:
[T]he number of robberies that have led to arrests in Chicago has declined 20 percent from last year, according to police department statistics. Reports of burglary and motor vehicle theft are down 20 percent and 26 percent, respectively. In the first quarter, the city's homicide rate was at a 56-year low.
As Richard Pearson of the Illinois State Rifle Association observed:
It isn't any coincidence crime rates started to go down when concealed carry was permitted. Just the idea that the criminals don't know who's armed and who isn't has a deterrence effect. ... The police department hasn't changed a single tactic -- they haven't announced a shift in policy or of course -- and yet you have these incredible numbers.
According to AWR Hawkins, national FBI statistics also showed a significant decrease in crime in the first half 2014 even though gun sales soared in 2013:
The number of murders declined 6.0 percent, the number of rapes (revised definition) declined 10.1 percent, aggravated assaults decreased 1.6 percent, and robbery offenses decreased 10.3 percent.
This is a continuation of the longer-running trend described by Dylan Polk in Guns & Ammo: "Crime rates have dropped as gun ownership has risen, despite a population growth" over the 1993-2013 period.
As always, it can be difficult to conclusively prove a direct causal link between gun ownership and falling crime rates. But such statistics certainly undercut any claims that more guns will lead to more crime.
The recent experience of college students Nour Skargee and Sable Nehme support the thesis that guns can prevent violent crime. When home invaders burst into their apartment, Sable "ran to her bedroom, retrieved her gun and pointed it at the culprits."
Her quick thinking and bravery paid off. The assailants fled immediately. As Skargee noted:
If we didn't have a gun, it would have been game over. They were bigger than me, bigger than both of us ... We had no way of stopping them. The gun was the one thing that made them run.
(My friend Ryan Moore tells a similar story in his interview: "Carrying a Gun Saved My Life.")
Richard Pearson estimated that 100,000 Illinois residents will have applied for concealed weapons permits in 2014 (out of a total population of 12 million). This works out to approximately 0.8% of the population.
In other words, "the 1%" of concealed weapons permit holders in Illinois have created a measurable benefit for "the 99%." Not a bad payoff!
The Crime Prevention Research Center claims similar results nationally:
In 10 states, more than 8 percent of adults hold concealed carry permits, and all are among the states with the lowest crime rates. Lott claims his group's analysis shows that each one percentage point increase in the adult population holding permits brings a 1.4 percent drop in the murder rate.
The medical theory of "herd immunity" posits that enough vaccinated individuals in a population can reduce the risk of contracting a disease -- even for those who aren't vaccinated. From the experience in Illinois and around the country, a relatively small number of armed people can similarly reduce the risk of crime -- even for those who aren't armed.
So if you don't own a gun but you are enjoying safer nights out on the town or sleeping more easily in your bed at night, give a little thanks to your neighbors who are gun owners. You're the beneficiary of gun "herd immunity."

I've had a few questions come in concerning the rather egregious error made by the Northwest pilots last week. I hesitated to discuss the incidents, since there's absolutely no defending what they did.
Well, for you, Kimmie, I just can't say no.
It's the topic of the week among pilots.
The conversation among pilots so far has ended with claims of dismay. How did they disconnect from flying enough to lose that kind of situational awareness?
By coming clean and explaining their story, the pilots admitted to something essentially no better than falling asleep; something that took their attention from flying the airplane. And they sought to set the record straight, confess and explain what diverted their attention; I can appreciate that.
As a result, the FAA has immediately revoked their certificates.
Most notable in their story was the fact that they had their laptops out inflight. Many airlines encourage the use of laptops to access an electronic version of their flight manuals. These "EFBs" are more useful than their paper counterparts because of the quick searching capabilities a laptop offers. However, it's my understanding that Delta and Northwest don't use any EFB on board their aircraft. Regardless, the pilots admitted that they were discussing new scheduling procedures that were to take effect with their laptops, something that's prohibited even at airlines that use Class I (laptop) EFBs.
According to the NTSB, the co-pilot was more familiar with the new bidding system, called preferential bidding, which involves choosing the types of trips and the day and time of departures in a general sense instead of simply picking a month of flying from the company constructed bid sheet.
Preferential bidding takes some time to get used to, and the pilots who figure it out early are likely to enjoy an advantage for a few months over those who don't. The co-pilot was simply trying to get the captain up to speed, and this apparently was enough of a distraction to cause the crew to lose contact with ATC for well over an hour.
Media reports have suggested that the pilots missed repeated calls from the company and that 'bells and chimes' were sounded as the company and ATC desperately tried to contact the flight.
Those descriptions aren't entirely accurate. When the company tried to contact the pilots via ACARS there wasn't actually a chime associated with the message. There was simply a 1/4 inch tall notice on one of the forward displays on the instrument panel that a message has been received. There was no AOL style "You've got mail!" chime. Some airplanes also print any message automatically on a small and rather quiet printer.
Losing contact with air traffic control is something that can happen to any pilot. A missed radio call is followed up by another call or two before the center switches to the 121.5 emergency frequency that pilots monitor on a second radio. If both attempts fail, ATC will then call another aircraft of the same airline to have them relay a message through ACARS for the airplane to re-establish contact on whatever frequency is in use.
If no contact is made, the chatter on the radio suddenly stops, so instead of hearing bells, chimes and calls, the Northwest pilots likely heard nothing at all. Similar to parents of toddlers, pilots should recognize this ominous silence as a possible problem.
They could have received a VHF SELCAL, a tone loud enough to make you jump out of your seat if activated by ATC. However, I suspect it wasn't used in this case, since it was a similar flight attendant call that eventually led to the discovery of the gross error.
On a related side note, a small number of the airplanes I fly do have a chime sound that activates when an ACARS message is sent. But that chime is identical to the flight attendant chime, the route uplink chime, the winds uplink chime, the HF SELCAL Chime, etc… In the future, ATC instructions sent via CPDLC will even use this same chime. It becomes easier to disregard or miss those particular chimes when they're constantly being used to announce other unimportant or nuisance notices.
The Boeing engineer in charge of designing this system explained to me years ago that humans were unable to differentiate the meaning of more than five different sounds, so they elected to keep those chimes the same and rely on an added cue such as a light or message that tells the pilots what the chime represents.
Congress is already talking about measures to restrict laptops in the cockpit. These rules were already in place, and may serve only to remove the official uses of a computer, requiring pilots who currently use a Class I EFB to go back to carrying nearly twenty pounds of books in their kitbags again; a move that still won't prevent some pilot from pulling out a laptop to check their schedule.
I'll leave you with a look at the Class II EFB that Virgin America uses on their flights. Eliminating these tools would be a step backward for the industry.
