>>the courts held that I was responsible for my own personal safety and the safety of my family<<
This is the basis of our 2nd Amendment. Self defense is an unspoken right.
A truth is, you are responsible for yourself and your family - no one else is.
1. Your safety is your responsibility - you have figured that one out.
2. Your basic needs to stay alive are your responsibility. If there is no water in your faucet, you can’t sue the water company and if you did, you would be dead in three days without water and never get to court anyway. If you have no plan for water, make one - it’s your responsibility.
3. No one is responsible for having food for you. That is your responsibility. If there is no food at the grocery or restaurant, you must provide it. If you have no plan for food, make one - it’s your responsibility.
4. No one is responsible for you to have a way to cook - it is your responsibility. If there is no power, there is no one for you to sue. If you have no plan for a way to cook - make one - it is your responsibility.
5. With no power, you have no light. If you have no plan to have light - make one - it is your responsibility.
6. With no power, you have no cooling or warmth. If you have no plan to have cooling and warmth - make one - it is your responsibility.
The above truths are just that - truths. Don’t trust your life to someone you don’t even know to provide you with critical life needs.

Just Dial 911? The Myth of Police Protection
http://psacake.com/dial_911.asp
Alternate location on that last, your link wasn’t loading.
the definition of police:
1 to control, regulate, or keep in order by use of police
2 to make clean and put in order
I worked right out of high school for the local Geno’s hamburger chain. my first job was porter. Policing the grounds was one of the tasks. I never forgot the term and have seen it used repeatedly correctly.
In our minds we have a vision of some superhero coming to our rescue, but the reality is quite different. Each officer weighs the situation as they show up and many would rather just wait it out to see how it goes rather than rush into a gunfight. Today they are in jeopardy as much as the perp if things don't go well. If they do rush to your aid, they may be thought of as a loose cannon or a "cowboy".
IMO, it's best to have a weapon and protect yourself in the first moments of trouble than to mess with cops that may be having a bad day. The police mainly draw the chalk lines and put up the yellow tape.
I have heard that from more than one policeman. They want to go home in one piece at the end of the day.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts especially since your daughter is a LEO.
Local LEO’s have a difficult job today because they do not know what kind of people they can be dealing with or what situations they may face. And the mass of regulations often make their jobs harder. My heart goes out to the decent, hard-working LEO’s.
There certainly have been issues in recent years with the militarization of local police and police overstepping their authority. Nevertheless, my post focused on my dawning realization that the cops could not be expected to save me.
My next post which is due out later today will focus on the police in greater detail; so, please stay tuned.
I am sure you have noticed that the govt does not wish you to think this way. As they shut off food, water, guns, ammunition, air, etc... They tell you to just vote correctly and they will supply all your needs according to their riches and glory.
Q-ManRN lives in my house and he has learned first hand that all our needs must be supplied by US -- and I must say he has made quite the conversion!!! :-)
True enough and thank you for the note about my conversion.
