That's odd... I felt like I was protecting and serving on Sunday night when I caught the guy trying to break in to a family's home. The family was very appreciative as well.

As for the 2nd Amendment - after speaking with that very same homeowner, I talked him into applying for his gun permit and attending the various gun safety classes. Both he and his wife expressed an interest.

Well put.

The police are there to try to make sure the bad guy gets punished, when a citizen fails to protect himself.
