Yup. I used to be a vol firefighter. If your response time for any emergency service is under 5min you're very lucky. But often even that isn't enough. You need the tools and skills to do what you can until help arrives. Fire prevention, medical and self/fam defense. Until they get there it is up to you, and many people don't realize that.
Oh, I don't. I'll protect myself. Where I live the police are about fifteen minutes away. Ain't nobody got time for that.

I live in a densely populated area… They're still 15 minutes away.
