I agree completely that police are not anyones personal protection force. I just finished my CCW class this weekend and learned some new laws that I didn't know previously. Mostly that you need a CCW to carry peppar sray in a pocket or a purse. Around here our local government and city athorities like to treat us like mushrooms. They diligently omit crimes from the local news paper like rape, prostitution, drugs and other violent crimes. Very few make it to the light and that lulls people into the attitude that "those things don't happen here". My wife asked why I felt the need to carry a firearm I told for the same reason people carry cellphones because there may be a time when I need it. I have carried before for years but not all the time mostly while hunting but now I have a permitt to do so. I gave this great thought and knew from my worldly travels in the Marine Corps that human nature comes down to "is it going to be me or them" and as a father to be in a 6 months I will do all I can to make sure that is them that pays for thier indescresions not me and my family. I wish more people would have to fend for themselves instead of living in privilage and would see what life realy boils down to "is it going to be me or them". Glad to see others out there that feel the same way!
