“...What if I have no gun and so I call the police for help and they are furloughed?...”
Always have a gun and you won’t have that problem.
YOU are the First Responder in any encounter with a criminal. Police are under ZERO obligation to save your life - their purpose is to solve the crime after it happens, enforce whatever laws happen to generate revenue for the state and male you behave, and draw the chalk line around your body after the fact.
That’s about it.
The only person responsible for your life is you.
There’s no reason to have a gun, because you can call the police -
just as there’s no reason to have a fire extinguisher because you can call the fire department.
That's a "keeper"! I'd like to see that on a photo comment.
