People believe they need to protect themselves because they know that the police won’t get there in time. I stated above that we have to be aware of the irrational people who will target others. But, aren’t we fortunate to know that our neighbors believe in self-protection, too? I saw a good one the other day. It went something like this.
"A 357 Magnum is better than the police because the police arrives in 20 minutes while a 357 Magnum arrives in 250 milliseconds."
