GUNS RIGHTS IN THE NATION OF JORDAN

A friend of mine recently visited Israel and Jordan. Since then the US State Department has been sending him communications warning him about what to expect in Jordan. This is the latest, and it shows that gun rights like this are only found in the US in possibly Texas and Arizona.

Event: It is expected that the Jordanian Ministry of Education will release the results of the summer high-school exam (the Tawjihi) this weekend.  As part of the celebrations, expect congested traffic, more aggressive drivers, and celebratory gunfire.  U.S. government personnel are advised to remain indoors on the evening the results are released.
