All true. As to police, I started training my kids to use firearms when they were three. We lived on a gated compound innawoods where I homeschooled them, and if someone bad came to do bad things the police weren't going to stop them. We would have to do it. We were always ready, but there's not often bad guys doing bad things innawoods, so thankfully everything turned out ok. Maybe I'd feel differently If I'd have been raised in a city.
