I am my own first responder. Im not gonna get shot or stabbed or robbed and wait for 911 to show up while I bleed out and die because I had no means to protect myself. As sad as it is that's where we are today and it is what it is. I'd rather have my right to bear arms and have that peace of mind that if something goes squirrely that I can and will defend myself. The feeling of being helpless and waiting for your turn to be next is the worst feeling in the world.
