do you really believe that a few local cops are going to be able to protect you if someone is intent on causing you harm?

Absolutely not. Never did.

or would you rather be prepared to protect yourself and your family on your own terms, should you ever need to?

Certainly. If someone breaks into my house, I'll haul out my bad-ass Winchester 22 and defend myself. If I'm out in public and someone assaults me? I'll have to make the best of it. We've discussed this in the past. I've never had ANY training outside of a gun safety course a million years ago. OK, TWO million, I'm old.
I think I've sorted out where my problem lies with the entire CCW debate. (I don't have any statistics to back this up, it's just my opinion) You can shoot all the targets and cans you want. But if you're standing there and some thug has a pistol pointed at you and your wife, how many of us would have the where with all to get ourselves out of this jam?
I'm not against CCW. Not at all. But the concept makes me a bit nervous.

No argument.
