    When there's 3 armed scum raiding your home at 2am and you call the guards they're terrified to come out. They take up to an hour to come to the scene

    I had occasion to call the guards when I had two men whispering at the rear of my house in the wee hours in my enclosed garden, they walked on gravel which alerted me, the guards were with me in minutes.

    They are very stretched but far as I know respond to all calls in the same way regardless.

    I had reason to ring them in the last month. They arrived 4 hours later explaining that they had been dealing with some arrested person in the station. I asked them where were the other guards and was told that they were the only car covering 4 towns with a total population of about 6500 thousand people. Madness. I asked wht would happen of I had burglars in my house and they told me that the response time prob wouldn't be much better

    Tazers should be made available to most at the very least.

    Actual guns not to all as I said but more are and will be needed.

    Yes, they all should have guns, but most wont want them.

    I'd say they'd rather face today's criminal with a gun rather than without
