Exactly right. Unless you are a cop, they are almost always going to be minutes away. I don’t want to live in a police state where they are typically everywhere. I’d far rather accept and prepare for being responsible for my own safety.

That is the point. When you hear “when seconds count, the police will be there in minutes”...

That is not bagging on police...that is simply stating that each of us have the “right” to defend ourselves (and others) in the most appropriate way possible.

You bet. Our ancestors were responsible for their own safety, and they were stronger people.

My God Father owned a bank in a small SW town that was miles from the nearest lawmen. He and his fellow merchant had set up an alarm system that was silent in their stores/his bank if they triggered the system. However the other merchants heard the alarm and the triggered code when it was triggered by my Godfather or the other merchants.

The other merchants would be waiting behind cars/trucks with their guns when the bad guys came out with their guns. After handling a couple of the bad guys, their little town was left alone by the bad guys.
