Put the Gun Down???

Read this article and listen to the 911 call, and you will find out why in many cases if you call 911 without any action on your part to defend yourself, or if you even listen to their advice, you could end up dead.

I first read of this incident on a ladies self defense blog, and they did an excellent analysis of the situation which you can read here.

Gun Shy has addressed the incompetence of 911 operators in earlier commentaries found here and here.

There is something about girls and guns...

Thank you for the link in your post. There are SO many reasons why depending on law enforcement for our safety is a farce. They have no constitutional responsibility to the citizens of our nation to prevent a crime. Here's a sickening account of a woman being raped even after the police had been called: http://tinyurl.com/cmtenl With this type of track record, we need to invest in our own self defense. http://tinyurl.com/dl4elo

Thanks for the links about the NYC rape in the subway. I am getting ready to do an article about the "gun anal" states such as New York, Massachusetts, California, etc, and so I will link to your blog for that one as well. Here is an earlier entry that I did about personal protection which echoes what you said:

You're most welcome. Looking forward to this article you're writing. We all know that the tight gun laws in NYC, DC and California have made them safer states, right? NOT. I think you'd enjoy this article about the endangerment of our children from the manipulation in the media about guns. http://tinyurl.com/d9e4tu
