Simple answer: no. They should live by the same laws and rules the rest of us must live under.
Why call 911 and wait to be assaulted/injured, when you can call someone else who will deal with the threat, or just do it yourself?
I don't call 911. I'll call the non-emergency number to come and scrape the slimeball off my lawn.
Which is thinner?
The veneer of civilization, or the thin blue line of cops?
Given the fact that we've seen that CCW holders are actually more law-abiding than police in general, I'd say we'd do better trusting ourselves than them.
It is a matter of law in this country that cops have no duty whatsoever to protect any individual. That has been fully litigated multiple times on every level up to and including the supreme court.
I give cops no more leeway than I'd give any other average citizen. Perhaps a bit less, because I think that from an historical perspective they've not earned anything more.
Basically a return to lawless barbarianism.
Is that because you believe you would achieve supremacy over your irksome neighbors in your local area?
ROTFLMAO!
“I don't call 911. I'll call the non-emergency number to come and scrape the slimeball off my lawn.”
Sure you will...because that will work out well!
I'm betting that you have not actually experienced the immediate threat of death, as a law abiding citizen, yet.
