I love the police, and have a great deal of respect for the job they/we do along with the high quality training and equipment. But I know that I rely on myself to protect my home and family and not the police.

True, which is why I advocate for all law abiding citizens to arm themselves, train with their weapon(s) and get insurance. Leaving your gun locked in a safe unloaded is pointless/useless.
