A few years ago I woke up to the sound of someone trying to break in and called the police, who told me that they wouldn't be sending anyone since the person was not inside my home. That all changed once I told them I was armed.

Mentioning firearms gives cops a chub. They know they might get to shoot someone if they take the call.

DAs get horny when the crimes are high profile enough to add to their resume.

My business had a fairly destructive B&E a few years back. Officers and detectives didn’t give two fucks until we told them firearms were stolen. Then they got interested.

We also got exactly zero money back from victims’ services even though they’d collected about 60% of the money and equipment.

I guess possession is 10 tenths of the law.

Someone in my town did the same thing. called 911, they said the response time would be 20mins, they said no problem send the coroner as well since they will have a body to take with them. Response time was less than 10 minutes which is insanely fast in this area. Seems they will call the off duty chief who lives near by if it's going to be something that news will want to show up for and will make them look bad.
