Great Comment From LEO Regarding Carrying

**marks** · October 25th, 2010, 03:25 PM

I was part of a Facebook discussion discussing the pros/cons of carrying a firearm. One of my comments was followed by that of a LEO, who is a friend of the original FB poster. He said:

"Whenever you need me, when seconds count, I'm only minutes away".

That's become one of my favorite quotes.

Top Gun
Officer: Both Catapults are broken, sir.
Stinger: How long will it take?
Officer: It'll take ten minutes.
Stinger: Bullshit ten minutes! This thing will be over in two minutes! Get on it!

Variations of that line have been around forever. But it's one of the more potent arguments for being armed. I always enjoy the look on an anti's face trying to rebutt that truth. One that I use for the argument is if your kid is being beaten do you want me and my gun or a guy with a cellphone nearby? Make the argument personal because self defense is certainly personal.

I always wondered what happend to the other 2 cats. Even if they are in cyclic ops it does not take long to get 3&4 unwrapped, tested and fireing.
