That was supposed to have changed after Columbine ;(.
It is silly as can be to rely on anyone to protect you.
Nine times out of ten, for all the systems, plans, and manpower, LEOs will arrive too late to save anyone, and likely to late to catch the perpetrator.
I know. A shocking truth to those in suburbia who are guarded more by numbers and statistics than any of their systems. Thus the impenetrable herd mentality.
Country folks are not shocked. Reality remains, day to day. That is why we require, and in fact, insist upon, the means to defend ourselves.
Contemplate that before angling for more useless gun controls.
