Here’s a helpful hint for those who still think the police will be there to protect you…  they may not be.  Outside of highly populated locations, police protection is paper thin at the best of times.  Other times, like late at night, there may be nothing.  Response times may be measure not in minutes but an hour or more.

In larger jurisdictions, the handful of officers on duty may be tied up on other calls.  In Chicago, for instance, half or more of the highest priority 911 calls lacked available units for response.  In an unknown number of other instances, Chicago’s 911 system didn’t even answer.

When seconds count, police are minutes or hours away.

You don’t have to live life as a helpless, defenseless victim.

Empower yourself.  Become a gun owner.  Carry everywhere, every day.  Even at home.

Because ultimately, you are your own first responder.
