When seconds count the cops drive criminals to your door and let you do their work.

1. Is there anyone who has a problem with such a thing?

Looks to me like the guy saved the cops some work.

2. Sounds like a good reason to have firearms for home protection.

That said, the cops were in pursuit of the intruder, which means they're on the job. Perhaps you're overstating your abuse of the police there...

3. But gun owners never us guns for defensive purposes, they are more

likely to be show with it themselves or have someone else in their household shot with it, or so we're told.
