there have been and never will be enough professional law enforcement officers to arrive on the scene of a crime soon enough

Very true.
If one sets their sights on a target, be it next door neighbors, local school, office building YOU have the advantage to create a lot of ‘mayhem’ before ‘help’ arrives.
And todays LEO (apparently) are taught to think before acting and the old days of the first 2 cops arriving on the scene go in ‘guns blazing’ is a thing of the past with several levels of Supervisors, SWAT/tactical teams having to ‘survey the situation’ prior acting.
Back ‘in the day’, something like Columbine/Va Tech would not have went down quite that way as all the arriving officers wouldn’t have been hunkering down awaiting instructions. Some fool or fools (right of wrong) would have stormed the building - possibly creating more havoc BUT would have been doing ‘something’.

If me and a couple of buds are out riding around someday and spontaneously decide that YOUR house is the target, the ONLY defense YOU have is to be provided by yourself - much like a gas station being the target of opportunity - the less you plan and enlist help, the better off you are pulling it off, unless, of course, the clerk also is ‘prepared for any contingency’ or a couple of cops may hap in on you while on a coffee/donut run.

This gets taken up a notch when the attacker doesn’t care if he lives or dies....

....and crime was lower.

See the book Frontier Violence. Violent crime was a fraction what it is today.

See the book Frontier Violence.

I've read Rise of the Warrior Cop, which has a pretty thorough history of policing in America.
