{personal Experience} As a kid in California, we had constant break ins and other such vandalism. I was assaulted several times. 45 minutes for county sheriffs to arrive, as we had no police department. In a major urban center. Sherif finally told my dad. “Nothing we can do, buy a gun, just make the body look like it wasn’t running away and police won’t make an issue of it”. This horrified us on many levels. We moved to a safe neighborhood. Later on we realized we had a bunch of gun nuts on street. One of which loved to shoot blanks at trouble makers. This disturbed me, and left me deeply questioning many things about guns. As an adult I moved out of state to raise my family near the the pro gun people. Never once had an issue. Don’t like to touch guns personally. Yet happy to be where criminals fear to tread.
