Amitabh Bachchan slept with loaded revolver during Mumbai Terror Attacks!!

Amitabh Bachchan writes in his blog that he slept with a gun under his pillow after Mumbai terror attacks. Why did he do that? He says that

to show his "complete loss of faith in the system and governance" and criticised gestures like lighting candles.

"The act of pulling out my revolver is a symbolic metaphor, a figure of speech, to demonstrate my complete loss of faith in the system and in the governance, in providing me, a citizen of India, with my rightful sense of security,"

Congratulations!! Mr. Bachchan, that you are able to pull out a revolver for your safety. Mr. Bachchan! what would you suggest to someone who has to catch a local train/BEST to go to work/home. How does he or she protect himself/herself? How does a elderly man shown here at Victoria Terminus protect himself? or how does a child (recovering in a hospital from injuries after mumbai terror attacks) protect himself?

Mr. Bachchan how about using your influence/stature to generate pressure on folks in New Delhi to bring about changes/improvements in Intelligence Gathering, security measures.
