Keep in mind, I'm a firm believer in the ownership, maintenance, carry and bearing of firearms.
If you want to call 911 then that's fine, please do so but keep the following in mind:
Scenario 1: You're about to be attacked. How much time will you have to pull out your phone (I'm running under the assumption you have a basic cellphone with buttons) punch 9-1-1-send and then explain to a dispatcher what the situation is. When the cops get there, how likely are you to have survived?
Scenario 2: You're about to be attacked. You draw down and blast the stupid son of a bitch into the next world. Doesn't end well for that fuckhead but you get to live to see another day.
Don't know which one sounds more favorable to you but consider this also:
Scenario 1 Ideal Ending: The cops arrive and arrest the attacker. You have to undergo therapy (likely) You have to testify against him at trial if he doesn't cop a plea but either way, he goes to prison and your tax dollars pay to house him, feed him, keep him healthy...all of which you can do in your own home. Would you like to keep your attacker in your home?
Scenario 2 Realistic Ending: The cops arrive and you're a chalk outline. Your family is attending your funeral.
Scenario 3 Realistic Ending: As per your second amendment rights, you just blew roughly (depending on caliber) about six bucks worth of bullets into the asshole. Thus ends the spending.
I'm not here to tell any of you to own a gun or to support any legislation that would make gun ownership mandatory. Shit, I have seen people that have no business owning a laptop computer but that hardly means I'll ban them. All I'm saying here is just what Molotov said...if you don't want guns, don't own one but I'm owning mine with or without your consent.
