Detroit Top Cop: Buy A Gun It's Your First Line Of Defense
• Police chief says average citizens first line of defense against crime.
By Keith Johnson.
Across the country, the rights of gun owners are being snuffed out in many of the nation’s larger cities. AMERICAN FREE PRESS is pleased to report, however, that the Second Amendment is still alive and well in Detroit, Michigan, where the city’s top cop is actually encouraging citizens to take up arms in defense of their lives and property.
“A lot of good Detroiters are fed up,” said Detroit Police Chief James Craig during arecent interview with WDIV-TV. “They’re tired of dealing with this epidemic of violence. They’re afraid and they have a right to protect themselves.”
Detroit is continuously ranked among the nation’s most violent cities. To make matters worse, its ongoing financial crisis has resulted in severe budget cuts to law enforcement resources that have left the city with fewer cops to patrol the streets and notoriously slow response times.
As part of his solution to this growing problem, Craig has been on a crusade to remind members of his community that they are often the first line of defense against violent criminals.
“If you’re confronted with an immediate threat to your safety, you don’t have time to dial 9-1-1,” said Craig. “It becomes an issue of—the threat’s here—I have to respond to the threat.”
Fortunately, those words have not fallen on deaf ears. In the few months since Craig first began calling on citizens to arm themselves, many have followed his advice and some of those have even been responsible for thwarting several potentially devastating acts of violence.
“In just one recent two-week period, we’ve had over five situations where citizens with lawfully-owned firearms successfully defended their homes, their families and themselves,” said Rick Ector*, a prominent Detroit gun rights activist and firearms instructor who recently spoke with this AFP reporter. “It started last month with a woman whose home had been burglarized on several previous occasions. This time she had a high point carbine rifle (which in places like New York would be classified as an assault weapon) and used that firearm to successfully drive out three home invadersthat kicked in her door and came into her house.”
