"Burglar-alarm policy prompts call to arms"

With his city's police force poised to become the first in California to stop responding to most burglar alarms, Fremont insurance salesman Dennis Wolfe is urging his fellow citizens to arm themselves.

"I absolutely believe everybody should own a gun in Fremont now," Wolfe said Thursday. "If the police aren't going to protect us, we have to protect ourselves." . . .

"If you were a crook and you were going to burglarize a home, would you go someplace you have a chance of getting caught or a place where you have an invitation?" he asked.

As expected, Wolfe comes in for some personal attacks.
