With budget cutbacks putting a strain on law enforcement, simply calling 911 might not cut it in a life-or-death or situation, Clarke said in a new radio ad this month. Safety is “no longer a spectator sport,” he says. “I need you in the game.”
“With officers laid off and furloughed, simply calling 911 and waiting is no longer your best option,” Clark adds. “You can beg for mercy from a violent criminal, hide under the bed, or you can fight back. But are you prepared?”

And this may be happening more and more as the country sinks further into depression.
One more reason why our Founders believed in the 2nd amendment.
Cops in New York,Philly,Chicago and everywhere know all the criminals and mobsters who carry guns and do nothing about it.All the mobsters in Jersey but they dont get stopped because they have an illegal gun.So why does the gov't want to take citizens guns away?
They don't mess with the mob cause the mob messes back. The cops are at their best when they can yank kids and old ladies out of their car and stomp the daylights out of them for a smart remark they made, which, for all you cops, is a CONSTITUTIONALLY protected right. Its a good read if you can get past the big words.
^ clueless and more BS assumptions.
every sheriff of every county should make this same request .

Everyone is learning you have no clue.
Wonder why our sheriff is so conspicuously silent on this issue? My guess is that he's in bed w/O'Malley on the gun ban bills here in MD and Congress. And, probably thinks the Bill of Rights only apply to a certain segment of uniformed Americans.
On a brighter note, two thumbs up for sheriff Clarke.
