First, why would a police emergency line ask you to leave a voice message in the first place? No one would want to leave a voice message in a real emergency! Then, the message tells you to hang up and call 9-1-1 after you have already called 9-1-1 in order to get that message.
Meanwhile, four thugs are beating this guy's wife & stepmother. This poor homeowner finally realizes he cannot depend upon 9-1-1 and the police to save them. So, he gets his own gun and shoots one of the intruders and all of the thugs flee the home at that point (see the follow up article here: http://www.myfoxtampabay.com/story/25761883/pasco-deputies-id-last-home-invasion-suspect). The police arrive after the suspects have fled and begin searching for the thugs.
Would you want 9-1-1 protecting you in this situation or would you want to have your own gun? We can see in this instance that the homeowner tried the former solution, but the failure of the 9-1-1 system forced him to employ his own gun.
Another of numerous examples that refute all of these liberal gun control myths. For more on the myth of 9-1-1 protection, please see this excellent article at http://www.thefreemanonline.org/features/just-dial-911-the-myth-of-police-protection/
There’s plenty of precedence that shows that the police are not obligated to assist during the commission of a crime. They are not crime stoppers, they simply clean up and investigate after.
Why anyone would want to live in an anti-gun part of the country/world is beyond my comprehension.
Dial 9-1-1 and die.
Forward this to Michael Bloomberg. /S
This Florida county is PASCO county. They have know about these 9-1-1 problems for months if not a year. NOTHING EVER GETS FIXED, yet we are charged on every phone line, 9-1-1 charges on all phone bills. I live here.
Paging a lawyer that will get residents all this money back on a system that never works.
This New Yorker (I) was in Dallas for an extended stay. Thought there were noises out in the garage. Called 911. Dispatcher, going through her list of things to assist, asked if I had my weapon in hand.
Wha?
Ok. Made sense.
My response to anyone criticizing my right and my decision to carry a firearm is this:
I am the First Responder. I am my OWN 911. And I’m the ONLY First Responder who cares enough about ME and MY life to protect ME and MY life. And I will ALWAYS have a gun, regardless of whatever stupid law some liberal passes to feel good and make other liberals stop wetting themselves.
I taught my wife and children to load, shoot, clear malfunctions and misfeeds if they encounter them, and generally handle firearms competently and safely. As a certified instructor, I’ve also taught many women to do the same. It’s my duty as a man to protect my family, and as an American to teach those who I can to do the same.
NO ONE should be a helpless victim of some one else’s premeditated violence - whether street thug OR government-sanctioned thug.
Pretty much period.

Don’t forget to press 1 for english.
The best use of 911 is to tell them to come out and pick up the body.
Which can you depend on in an emergency? 911 or 1911??
I dial 911 for a fire, heart attack, etc. for a home invasion I dial 357.
911: “This is 911 - how can I help you?”
CALLER: “Someone broke into my house and I shot him. I think he is dead. Now what should I do?”
911: “Are you sure? Let’s be sure he is dead before doing anything.”
CALLER: [Bang!!!] Okay, now what....”
