FOXNews.com - Views - ifeminists - The Right to Self-Defense

Very interesting read. Also a very confusing court opinion. "The police have no obligation to protect individuals who, therefore, should defend themselves."

So what this is saying is that we are all responsible for protecting ourselves and our families, but individual states are limited our ability by making gun ownership and carry unlawful. What? So the Police have no obligation to help you, but then the state gets to deny or restrict your access to a means for you to protect yourself. Seems like playing both sides of the fence to me.

Also worth noting, the author is a woman and from, are you ready for this, The Peoples Republic of Kalifornia. Which still has some very strict gun ownership laws. Somehow I'm thinking that this article won't get much recognition. But the message is clear, protect yourself and your family and don't rely on the police.

Never let the facts get in the way of making a good decision.
