In urban and suburban areas the accepted number is 4-6 minutes average response time to emergency calls, rural areas can take up to 30 minutes to respond to an emergency. That's more than enough time for the bad guys to kill your wife, rape your daughters and sodomize you and your dog. And with the budget shortfalls facing each and every jurisdiction in the nation the situation is getting worse.
The common media story that Police Chiefs support gun control is a bunch of crap. Police Chiefs and Superintendents are mostly political positions, and if they want to keep their job they had better parrot the policy of the politicians that appointed them, with vigor if you are in Chicago. Talk to the beat cops in the city, suburban cops in your neighborhood and the guys out policing the highways alone in their cruiser and you'll hear a different story. Real cops support armed citizens. Real cops know the reality of police response to emergency situations:
Wis. sheriff urges citizens to get gun training
"A Wisconsin sheriff says he released an ad calling on residents to defend themselves because the old model of having a citizen call 911 and wait for help isn't always the best option.
In the ad, Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke Jr. tells residents that when it comes to personal safety: "I need you in the game." He urges citizens to learn to use firearms so they can "fight back" until authorities arrive.
The ad has drawn sharp criticism from other area officials. The president of the Milwaukee Deputy Sheriffs' Association, Roy Felber, says it sounds like a call to vigilantism.
But Clarke says he can either whine about budget cuts that have reduced the number of deputies or call on citizens to work with officers in some situations."
The average police emergency response time is 4-6 minutes. An AR15 can respond at 3100 feet per second. Repeatedly.
