When seconds count, the police are just hours away.

Detroit police chief James Craig agrees. The crazy thing is that Craig spent some 20 years on the LAPD and was opposed to armed citizens in those days.

“A lot of Detroiters are fed up,” he said in a recent interview with WDIV-TV. “They’re tired and they’ve been dealing with this epidemic of violence. They’re afraid and they have a right to protect themselves.”

After all, when seconds count, police are only minutes away, right?

“If you are confronted with an immediate threat to your safety, you’re not going to have time to dial 911,” Craig said. “It becomes an issue of, the threat is here, I have to respond to the threat.”

Glad to know that she is ok. It could have been much worse, Swat team, Flash bang, Splinter the door, Shoot the dog, Taser the home owner and arrest her before even know what the problem was.
