Gun grabbers want you to rely on the police for protection rather than arm yourself. But that approach is increasingly proving to be deadly.

A community college professor was shot to death in front of an empty police station by her husband, who then committed suicide, police said.

Debra Allen Vazquez, 50, had driven to police headquarters to get help, but all officers were on assignment at the time, authorities said.

Ironically, gun grabbers will probably exploit this story to call for more gun control, when instead, it better illustrates the unfortunate fact that police cannot possibly protect everyone in society. The courts have already ruled in dozens of cases that the police have no responsibility to protect individuals from harm. Even had the police been there and refused to help, they still would not be liable.

Had she chosen to arm herself, Ms. Vazquez might still be alive today.
