Every man is an island, contrary to popular belief.
No, the police cannot be held responsible for not protecting you. As you have found out, when seconds count, the police may be many minutes away.
Kind of interesting to see the other side of the coin so to speak. I was raised in the burbs with guns in the house. I was taught gun safety and how to shoot as soon as I could safely hold a rifle. Thanks for the story and thanks also for speeding up the release of your posts.

>>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.
