I hate to wallow in "if onlys," but I'm sorry this woman didn't greet her husband with a .357.

Don't need them. Chicago has a professional police force. They take care of the citizens, mostly.

my crappy plastic .22 would do enough to put another thought in an intruders mind...a lead one.

The Chicago Police Department's Internal Affairs Division has launched an investigation to determine why a South Side woman who made three calls to 911 to report that her husband was violating an order of protection was murdered before police arrived on the scene.

Ask John R. Lott Jr.

The best time to call 911 is while re-loading!

For the record, exactly what are the gun laws in Chicago that deprived this woman her natural right to self-defense and life?

Seventeen minutes can't be too bad. Albuquerque was bragging that their median response time was eleven minutes and that this was one of the best.

Whether a quicker response would have saved White's life is unknown.

Quicker response may have saved her live, but allowing her to protect herself may have even better.

All handguns had to be registered at a specific date. You had to come down in person on that single day to register. When the flood of gunowners besieged the office, the administration was "kind" enough to give all the gunowners in Chicago an additional day to do so. All guns not registered by then are illegal.

"The lady's demeanor was very calm and she was conversational..."

Interesting... if you want quicker police response, it seems you should act as hysterical as possible, rather than calmly and rationally explaining the situation.
