"I never run away from anything."

There's a saying something like, "If you don't have to go to a gunfight, then don't go."

The corollary would be, "If you don't have to go to a riot, don't go".

You should spend a lot of time contemplating just how you might feel if outnumbered and outgunned by a mob of crazies.

That would not be the right time to decide that you made a mistake and should have relocated.

In my case, I live in a rural area with open space around my house. I can hide near the house, prepared to act in defense of my home, but if an incident becomes imminent, I will have choices.

If you are inside your home and it is attacked, you may not have any good choices. Kyle Rittenhouse got himself into a situation where he ran out of choices. Does he have regrets? It wouldn't surprise me if he did.

Maybe I'm missing your point, but the riot would be coming to me.

I'm not asking anyone else to stand our ground, but running away from danger isn't in our family's ethos. I'll be damned if a mob takes over my home without my using lethal force, and I'm at peace with that.
