Why even bother with police then if every person should have the right to defend themselves? What are police even there for if every Joe Schmoe is fully armed?
The police will almost NEVER get there in time. They are useful for taking reports, collecting evidence, drawing chalk lines and investigating AFTER THE FACT.
In Aurora, police arrived 60-90 seconds after they were dispatched. Yet 71 people were shot. And average police response time is MUCH worse than that. And this assumes one has the opportunity to call the police, which isn't always the case.
When you only have seconds,the police are just minutes away.
