Well, I guess I have a completely different take on this.

I'm pretty good with a rifle and a handgun and I don't wanna get into a gunfight with anyone. Ever. Would I, if forced to do so? Of course. But I don't look forward to that ever happening. Just like I don't wish for the zombie apocalypse or other type of societal collapse. I'm not worried so much about me getting caught up in it as I am those I care about.
