My response to this topic is a little OT, but then not really...
On two separate occasions, once here in SO Cal and once at my place in Idaho, I have had the need to call 911 for police response to a situation, once when the house next door was being broken into...
On both occasions the law never showed up... Claimed they could not find the location... On both occasions when I called the police during regular business hours to report the non-response, the officer that took my call told me... "Sir we do our best to respond to emergency assistance calls, however, when all is said and done, you should be prepared to take care of your self"!!
I now have a concealed weapon permit, just for that purpose...
