only to enforce and deliver to the judiciary those that HAVE broken the law
To my knowledge, not one of the people whose crimes I have interrupted and called the cops on has been delivered anywhere.

Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.

I didn't say the system was flawless, only described what it supposed to do.

I agree. Just to add to that train of thought... Police Officers are nothing more than people performing a job. They can quit whenever they want. They are under no legal obligation to be police officers if they decide that the job is too boring/dangerous/low paying/etc.   I like to throw that into the mix when discussing CCW and self-reliance.

Maybe I need some coffee, but I don't see the connection to CCW. 'Splain please?

Some argue that a person doesn't need a gun/CCW because dealing with bad guys is Police Business.  My counter argument is that a police officer can quit his job anytime he wants (without repercusions), but I don't have the option to "quit" being a victim, nor can I demand the police protect me.

Plans tend to evaporate when you wake up at 2am from your wife elbowing you in the ribs and telling you somebody is stealing the car you need to drive to work in the morning.

Stealing horses was at one time a hanging offense- a person's livelyhood depended on the horse. Not sure why it should be any different today.

I believe I have a moral, societal, and religious obligation to resist evil. Allowing evil to go unresisted is, in itself, immoral. Risking getting shot over my car may not be the best choice in a cost benefit analysis, but I do not think it is the right thing to do.

That's why you arm yourself. So you won't be a helpless victim
Also that route helps mr. badguy develop a case of "catastrophic failure of the victim selection process".
