I would not like to be the cops who originally set out on this 'job' only to be diverted to another location. Their priority was the domestic called in on triple zero and that is where they should have gone!Nemesishttp://islammonitor.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9487055.post-85888285022303064212010-02-09T17:57:59.311+11:002010-02-09T17:57:59.311+11:00I should have put legitimate in bold, but then aga...I should have put legitimate in bold, but then again, words have always bounced off your thick skull eh tofu.

I'm not necessarily against people being ...MK,<br /><br />I'm not necessarily against people being armed and able to defend themselves, but this is not a good example to promote your point of view. The post says it was a violent domestic dispute, which suggests the assailant was either the victim's husband, a family member, or someone who lived under the same roof. As I see it, if she owned a firearm, it is likely that the offender would know where it was kept, if they live under the same roof, so he may well have used it on her himself. Not only that, but if she was able to carry a gun to protect herself, she would need to be armed at all times in her own house, to protect herself from this particular assailant. I'm not trying to be argumentative or obtuse here, but this incident in itself really does not do much to promote the right to bear arms. It is more of an indictment of police priorities and response times, than part of an argument against gun control. <br /><br />Having said all that, I agree with your comments about the 200 pound maniac etc. I was a cop myself for a long time, and I know they can't be everywhere.Phil Stephensonnoreply@blogger.com
