If you assume that its the governments job to keep you safe and in detroit it takes over an hour for the police to show up then you are in trouble. If you are in one of the many isolated areas and rely on the local sheriff for protection who is miles away you are in trouble. If you are in the woods hunting or hiking and run into trouble, the sheriff cant get to you. America presents a variety of diverse situations which come into play with gun laws and general law enforcement issues that other countries in Europe dont have to face.
