“And doesn’t having a gun for defense mean you don’t trust the police – people paid to defend the citizenry – to do their job?”
Several court rulings, including the US Supreme Court, have held that it is NOT the responsibility of police to provide individual protection. How many times have you read “police prevent assault on woman” or “police stop armed criminals from bank robbery”? Police come AFTER the crime 99% of the time. YOUR SELF DEFENSE IS UP TO YOU.
