helpful man), I was explaining to him that I was afraid of a
person who had been calling my home phone, impersonating a
police officer and trying to extort money from me. (I didn't
know the extortionist, but he seemed to know who I was and where
I was!)  The (real, live) KPD officer asked me "Do you have a
personal firearm, Ma'am?"  I said "Yes, I do."  He said, "Are
you willing and able to protect yourself? Because that's what
you have to do, you know. I'd be glad to stay here with you,
Ma'am, if I could, but I can't do it. You just do whatever you
have to do to keep yourself safe. Remember- you can't shoot them
for stealing stuff from your yard, and don't shoot them in the
back. Other than that- Well- just do whatever you have to do. If
you are truly feeling threatened, the law is on your side."
That's what the police officers tell citizens. I'm glad he told
me the truth to begin with
