Some citizens here are empowered. I am one of them.
How?
I take responsibility. When confronted with any type of bad folks who demonstrate a desire to steal, destroy or threaten my family, neighbors, myself or our property. I have the ability to take the appropriate action. I don't have to wait hours for the police to apologize and take a report. The really neat responsible part of this? It's legal here.
Now for that "nation, not yourself" part....when, I read that...I giggled.
At you.
Try this on for size?
If you can't defend yourself first, how can you defend your nation?
