In fact read any post by Maverick or other cops, they'll tell you themselves that the police don't get there in time unless the assault is protracted, somehow. Nevermind out in the boonies.
That's not really the point.. If you live your life in so much fear that you think you have to have a gun in arms reach all the time..Well I honestly pitty you.
If you get up out of bed to go to the crapper do you pick up your gun and carry it with you?
If you get up in the middle of the night, to grab a drink do you carry your gun to the fridge?
When you take the trash out do you carry a gun?
The extreme guns rights people like larz and some of the others on this forum, always come up with these "once in a million years" types things to support their claims of carrying guns are the answer to everything.
I edited to make it more realistic for the O club..
Joe gets up at 6 a.m. and fills his coffeepot with water to prepare his morning coffee while carrying his Benelli M4 Assault Shotgun. The water is clean and good because some tree-hugging liberal whom likely hates guns fought for minimum water-quality standards. Meanwhile Joe wonders where he put his Glock pistol..
With his first swallow of coffee, he takes his daily medication with his H&k USP Tactical .45 pistol sitting on the kitchen table and the Benelli placed carefully on the counter top. His medications are safe to take because some stupid gun hatting commie liberal fought to insure their safety and that they work as advertised.
All but $10 of Joe's medications are paid for by his employer's medical plan because some liberal union workers fought their employers for paid medical insurance - now Joe gets it too, but he hates the fact he can't carry his HK 45 to his doctor appointments. He prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and eggs. Joe's bacon is safe to eat because some non gun carrying girly-man liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry.
In the morning shower, Joe reaches for his shampoo but makes sure his Benelli is sitting on top of the toilet within arms reach and the HK 45 sitting on the toilet lid. Joe still wonders where he left his Glock. His bottle is properly labeled with each ingredient and its amount in the total contents because some crybaby liberal whom likely doesn't own a gun, fought for his right to know what he was putting on his body and how much it contained.
Joe dresses wearing a bulletproof vest with his HK compact with extra clips in his shoulder holster, he walks outside and takes a deep breath slightly insecure wondering where the evil bad guys are. The air he breathes is clean because some environmentalist wacko liberal fought for laws to stop industries from polluting our air. He knows guns are likely the next target on their socialist agenda. Joe looks over and sees his Glock sitting on the hood of his car. Joe's mind flashes back to last night while carrying out the trash, it was just far too hard to hard to carry the Glock, the Benelli and the trash can. Joe is happy again but thinks he should likely buy a belt holster for the Glock.
He walks to the subway station for his government-subsidized ride to work carrying his HK 45in his shoulder holster and his Glock in his ankle holster. It saves him considerable money in parking and transportation fees and gives him a chance to maybe someday be like Dirty Hairy, all because some fancy-pants gun hating liberal fought for affordable public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a contributor.
Joe begins his work day mad because if he got caught with his guns, his boss would likely fire him. He has a good job with excellent pay, medical benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some lazy liberal union members fought and died for these working standards. Joe thinks too bad he doesn't work at the NRA.
Joe's employer pays these standards because Joe's employer doesn't want his employees to call the union. If Joe shoots himself in the foot or is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed, he'll get a worker compensation or unemployment check because some stupid liberal whom hates guns didn't think he should lose his home because of his temporary misfortune.
Its noontime and Joe needs to make a bank deposit so the can pay some bills. Joe's is pissed off because he can't carry his guns in the bank, but at least his deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC because some godless never owned a gun liberal wanted to protect Joe's money from unscrupulous bankers who likely owned guns ruined the banking system before the GreatDepression.
Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae-underwritten mortgage and his below-market federal student loan because some elitist couldn't hit a target liberal decided that Joe and the government would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his lifetime. This also allows Joe to buy lots of guns.
After work this evening, Joe plans to visit his father at his farm and shoot some turkey at his home in the country. He gets in his car for the drive with his HK 45 in the glove compartment and the Glock 9mm stuffed in the center console. His car is among the safest in the world not because he has two pistols but because some America-hating liberal with no guns fought for car safety standards. Joe thinks they should have added shot gun racks in the rear window.
He arrives at his boyhood home. His was the third generation to live in the house financed by Farmers' Home Administration because bankers didn't want to make rural loans. The house didn't have electricity until some big-government liberal with no guns stuck his nose where it didn't belong and demanded rural electrification allowing Joe to pack shotgun shells all night as a young boy.
Joe is happy to see his father whom is carrying a real M1 Grand from ww2, he is now retired and lives on Social Security and a union pension because some wine-drinking, cheese-eating French loving liberal made sure he could take care of himself so Joe wouldn't have to. Joe is glad to see his dad can still protect himself from the evil Feds.
Joe gets back in his car for the ride home, and turns on a radio talk show. The radio host keeps saying that gun hating socialist liberals are bad and good ole gun loving conservatives are good. He doesn't mention that the beloved Republicans have fought against every protection and benefit Joe enjoys throughout his day except for his gun rights.
Joe agrees: "We don't need those big-government anti gun liberals ruining our lives! After all, I'm a self-made man and own guns who believes everyone should take care of themselves, just like I have."
