Look around you honestly...Look at the society in which we live. Rape, battery, and murder are so common that most of us don't even react when we read about these things or hear about them on the news. Not only are the police unable to protect us 24 hours a day, it's not their job to protect us. I for one prefer to take responsibility for my own safety and that of my family. I feel a proactive stance rather than a reactive stance is much more responsible.
