Just saw a 9-1-1 show on A&E.
Its a great ad for pistols and gun ownership.
In the 2 calls they featured a hand gun saved the callers/homeowbers lives.
What is frightening about that show is that by playing the 911 call in displaced real time, you can see just how l-o-o-o-n-g it really takes for help to arrive. My wife was astounded by how long it takes. I usually answer with; “A gun would have ended the threat before the cops even hit the lights”.
And yes, she has a handgun of her own.
