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....
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.
