Should You Arm Yourself For Emergencies?

We are fortunate to live in a country where most communities have police, fire and other emergency services just a phone call away. In mere minutes, helpful people can be at your house to arrest scary individuals, capture sick or injured animals, rescue children or jump start an ill heart. But, based on a number of recent discussions, it seems that more folks are doing the simple math and realizing that in a disaster or other bad situation, there just aren’t enough helpful folks to go around. In my part of the country, there is only one police officer for about every five hundred citizens. This is why the common question comes up “should I go purchase a firearm to protect myself and my family in an emergency”?
