So that when I am attacked by two vicious American bulldogs in the middle of a public street in broad daylight, like Phoenix street transportation worker Carl Corona was, I can actually do something about the assault instead of waiting until I'm almost dead for the cops to show up and shoot the dogs:
"When officers arrived, Corona appeared "lifeless" as the bulldogs dragged him through muddy irrigation water, police said."
Anyone besides me think that it would be a good idea for city employees to be able to defend themselves against predators, whether of the four- or two-legged variety?
At least the Phoenix police bothered to show up at some point in the incident, unlike the Apache Junction, Arizona cops who declined to respond to a drunk-driver call because they were too busy having a barbecue at their police station. Those officers have been disciplined, but a fat lot of good that would have done to the people that the drunk could have taken out because he or she went uncaught. Not only that, the entire sector lacked police coverage during their party:
"The sergeant received the most serious discipline because he allowed his entire patrol squad to be off the streets at the same time."
Meaning: If the residents "served" by those officers had called for an emergency, help would be a long time coming, and so they had better have the means to protect themselves, instead of relying on the amateur chefs.
