First responders??????
1. First responders to most crimes, can more and more to be said to be, the armed citizen sheepdog, standing over the corpse of the criminal!
2. First responders, eh? I live in the 49th state in educational awareness, LA. When I had to be taken to the local V.A. for a life-threatening emergency in 2008, I dialed 911. Welllll, since I live in "the other town across the river from the 911 call center, y'all", I was transferred to the local Sheriff's office (tick, tick,tick), then to the local police department (tick,tick,tick), then finally to an ambulance service, who came 20 minutes later! You see, my herniated colostomy had shut down. It was nearly a half-hour till I was helped down the stairs to the waiting ambulance.
With that sort of example of "first responders", it makes one decide that the phone call for 911 might be after the security of the abode has been reclaimed, first, (rug stain be damned).
Remember, under Ocare, any doctor can ask any family member if there are 'firearms in the house'!
