When seconds count the police are minutes away.
An episode of the color Dragnet TV series had them say “you don’t need to get your guns out and confront someone in your home——the time you spend doing that you should be phoning the police.” Sure....

When seconds counted, the police were only 13 minutes away.
Great outcome...

That story says it all. Don’t count on the police to be there to save your ass when the SHTF.
To: grundle
She should have told them that she shot him.
They show up faster to do paper work.
Immjoking.
I once cocked a slide of a shotgun over phone and the cops were there in a sec.....to lecture me.
I was calling about a drug deal going down in front of my house.
glad I moved from there.

without the gun, it would have been far more than 13 minutes with him in control, rather than her in control waiting for police for 13 minutes.
But sure, guns are terrible. *eye roll*

The Pasco cops had to wait for the Live P.D. camera people to charge their video batteries and get their gear in their video truck.

Apparently, it was a Devin...and not a Devon or a Devonia.

She initially reported a suspicious person TWENTY ONE minutes before!!
That’s a whole sitcom!

Where I live it’s like forty-five minutes and that’s if they’re not busy. The sheriff said basically: arm up.

Calls 911 at 12:41 a.m. about an intruder in her property. Calls again. The first unit, a sergeant, arrived on the scene at 1:07 a.m.
Yeah, when seconds count, the police are almost half an hour away. Good thing her neighbor was there to assist her and had a gun.

It does not sound all that terrifying.
The mother appears to have responded with perfect level-headed actions in the face of a intruder of questionable sanity.
She deserves praise for her calm temperament and good judgement.

The later color Dragnet TV series was very anti-gun as it hit the TV screens after Bobby Kennedy was shot.
I remember one show about a man who shot his wife. The weapon, shown in a box, was one of the most expensive revolvers on the market at that time, an SAA Colt .45 with adjustable target sights.

I bet those 13 minutes felt like 2 hours. That woman has bigger balls than most guys I know.
To: roadcat
The nearest Sheriff’s deputy is about 2 hours away from my wife and I; we don’t have local Police, just the Sheriff’s Department.
Somebody comes on my property and won’t leave politely, I have a backhoe and lots of room to dig.
