hope that you never need a cop or a SWAT team to come to your assistance.
just for fun ... could you please give me an example of when I would want a swat team to come to my assistance ... or even a cop ...
I dunno... Maybe the neighbors are drunk again, yelling and fighting, and she runs into the street with him chasing and wailing on her.
You could go outside and wack him with a 2x4 a couple of times while she tries to scrach your eyeballs out... Or you could call 911 and go back to sleep!
Couple of guys do a home invasion and abduct you and yours. Might be nice to have a little 'assistance' under those circumstances.
Some of comments are guys talking about defending themselves, i.e., they don't need no stinkin cops.
Well, I have a fairly respectable gun collection, including some nice assault weapons and several thousand rounds of ammo, but I don't walk around my house like I'm a Marine at a checkpoint in Iraq.
That's the beauty of having police officers, boys. We don't have to feel compelled to walk around bristling with weaponry 24/7 to defend our lives and property.
And these comments about brown-shirts, well, that's just over the top. These guys are our neighbors, boys. They got wives and kids and mortgages. They ain't brown-shirts.
