We all live in the world of chaos right now; I don’t think anyone would or even could disagree with that statement. Our various law enforcement agencies are outnumbered and even worse it seems people have a dislike for the Police in general. Except when they need the Police, then it is “You didn’t get here fast enough and where were you”?
In the United States of America, we have more guns than people some 460 million at best estimate. Also 52% of these people there is at least one firearm in the home. I think the biggest myth of being a “Gun Owner” is that I have shot it, so I know how to shoot it. Honestly a 2-year-old can pull the trigger on most guns, it really doesn’t take a lot to do it.
What Certified Firearm Instructors such as me and others teach is how to do it safely. When can you use deadly force to protect yourself and others. Most importantly, do you have too use deadly force and ways to avoid it. Let’s not forget what happens once you do, that is a whole other situation. When someone uses deadly force at a minimum you are looking at $50,000.00 in legal fees. Even if you are innocent, but realistically that cost could be much higher because of not only the criminal defense but the civil litigation that will follow.
For those who think; “Let’s take away all guns and the crime will stop”. Welcome to fantasy island, if you eliminate law abiding citizens ability to protect themselves and burden law enforcement with even more crime. You are creating more prey for the predators to feed on nothing more. If you saw the movie “The Purge” it will be just like that. Not for a single day but every day and those who have the most will be the ones targeted first.
I have attached the information below so you can read for yourselves about the Police response times. It’s not information that I made up and you can see they did their due diligence with the various law enforcement agencies and other groups to come up with the information.
