True ... and where I live, response time may be more like 20 minutes. Part of "prepared" would seem to be knowing your local police response time, and being able to repel attackers for at least that long. I like this guy's computerized security system; helps to know what you're dealing with.
It took the Indianapolis police department FIFTY MINUTES when I called in to report a stolen gun. Even if it’s a gun, it’s just property crime, I guess.
