My boys and I were recently discussing why I conceal carry, I pointed out the challenge. The police take 8-10 minutes to respond--and now we can update this that they may just OBSERVE once this do. (Serve and Protect Observe). As they know from when we shoot in the desert, they can empty a 30 round magazine in less than 30 seconds. Swap in about that time actually. That means 60 rounds a minute. By 10 minutes that is up to 600 rounds. Say they stop at 8 minutes, that is still 480 rounds and they now have 2 minutes to drive away before the police arrive. They could be 1-2 miles away, long gone, when the police arrive. Serve and Observe is right.
Yes, we must be armed, we must take our own precautions because otherwise we are the hapless victim, wrong place, wrong time, waiting for the police to come document the result.
This almost looks like the FBI and the Sheriff’s department, together with various law enforcement agencies wanted for such a tragedy to take place, to use it to advance the left’s gun control agenda.
