>>I am very glad that more and more people, especially women, are getting weapons and seeking formal firearms instruction. They realize that the best police force in the world can’t always be there for them, round the clock. You can’t depend on government to solve all your problems for you.<<
As one guy said a few years ago, “The police are merely secretaries with guns.”
Police are not there to protect you. They are there to clean up the mess afterward and try to find out who did it. If one wants protection, one must find ways to protect themself. Guns, wasp spray, fences, cameras, motion detectors, minefields with tripwires... Wait a sec. Better scrap that last one.
As they say, When Seconds Count, the Police Are Minutes Away!
