Hope they don’t have to use them, but I hope they’re not afraid to if needed.

Guy’s a damned fool for talking to CNN, letting potential rioters know that he’s armed, and how.

Disagree - he refuses to cower in the shadows and hope that nobody comes for him. If everyone who goes around armed advertised, it would give the bad guys reason to think again because there's more of us than is obvious. Even better if everyone who has a weapon carries...

I hope that includes the sales of .45-70 lever action rifles.
Why?
It was either Zapata or Villa that tested the effectiveness of a cartridge, by how many prisoners went down with one shot.

Good move. It could get ugly. Wonder if they’ll let his mom out of jail to participate in the riots.

Say, didn’t they use that shot for his “Purple Pain” album? Right about the time he changed his name to, The infidel muslim bath house towel boy formerly known as Barry Soetero

"Are the paramedics guaranteed to arrive at all? NO."

Nice try, but you changed the hypothetical. In my hypothetical, the paramedics DID arrive.

"The first responder is the person who called the “first responders”"

You are saying that North Mountain is incorrect in asserting that he would be the first responder, and you would be correct.

"Chew on this one, when seconds count, the police are only minutes away."

Paramedics are not the police, and they have saved countless lives even though they weren't on the scene within "seconds."

"Your analogy works just like the anti-seat belts people who actually argued that if you were knocked unconscious in a crash that ended up in a lake, you would be unable to unbuckle yourself while you were unconscious."

I am not making a case for seat belts. The situation you describe is of a person who chooses to use a seat belt, but becomes incapacitated because of an accident. The seat belt didn't cause the accident. My scenario describes a tire that blows out which causes an accident, which incapacitates the driver. I am not assessing whether or not the seat belt saved the driver from dying because it is not known if the driver was using one. The hypothetical stands as is, and it cannot be changed to fit some other variable.

“Do you really think ANYONE is watching CNN? “

Yep. The age old riddle: “If CNN gives a broadcast in a forest, does it make a sound?”

Whether they arrived or not, you were already there.

The ONLY person guaranteed to respond to an emergency involving YOU is YOU.

Be prepared.

And in some cases then, your will die, no matter how well prepared you think you are.
