I did not call the police afterwards because I was sure the situation would not be repeated by the individual and I had no use for the police at that time.
I have had guns since my father gave me one at 6 years old and that was sixty years ago. In that time none of my guns have ever been used in domestic disputes, suicide, or accidents. That is the experience with most of the scores of millions of Americans who own guns. I don't bother with statistics (love the "100,000" nice round number internet statistic) because in the gun debate everyone throws their own set of statistics into the mix and no one cares.
