Washington: Indian Americans in a Georgian city are getting themselves trained in gun shooting as self-defence measures after the community in recent months experienced a spate of violent home invasions and robberies.

Indian Americans living in Roswell, a suburb of northern Atlanta, are being helped by the local police in receiving this gun training, which they believe would help protect themselves from robberies.

Over the weekend, Indian Americans gathered at a firing range, a local news channel reported, adding that Roswell police has so far charged seven Colombian nationals with home invasion.

For some Indians, living in the Americas, it didn't take robberies to prompt the desire to take on the responsibility of protecting themselves. :D

There is some truth in robbers targeting specific communities - my friend in IL was interned in the house by CDC because her family was on a plan with some one with contagious disease - left for dinner and returned three hours later with place wiped clean.. there was spate of such robberies in NJ/NY area too.. with both couples working - Indians tend to have ornaments, etc relatively easy pick..very few folks from this community opt for guns its still a taboo of sorts
