This is not to say I won't call for help because I know I will but I also am realisitic enough to know that my hand gun is seconds away whereas the police are minutes if you're lucky.
Yea. I think some people need to face the reality that the police arent by your side 24/7 to protect you. It is really up to you to protect yourself. I hear too many stories about people getting robbed, assaulted, and other stupid shit...all to hear them finish with "we called the police, but they didnt come till the next morning to just take a report."
I had to call the police a few times, in ALL instances it took over 2 mins to even talk to a live person. Damage is done man.
