We have COPS meetings in my neighborhood, where a police representative comes and gives talks on safety. His take on carry is to do it, if you feel comfortable. The police would rather show up with a dead perpetrator than a dead victim.
Also the Supreme Court says the police do not have a responsibility to protect you. It is the RESPONSIBILITY of the INDIVIDUAL to protect themselves. I know certain groups don't like those words.
