>> I can rebuild my home. I would not send my family away while I risk DYING and leaving them forever so I could try to save my home with a garden hose...

That is your right. It is also your right to wait for the police to arrive while you are being mugged, robbed, or assaulted. Others, like myself, believe it is their reponsibility to protect themselves and their property. It is also their right.

I agree it is a persons right either way and the govt has no biz dictating who stays or who goes. If someone wants to die and leave their children to possibly save their house, more power to them. I wouldn't do that though. Me being DEAD and my wife and children still without a home temporarily makes no sense to me.

I WOULD die protecting my FAMILY from danger be it a criminal or fire.

A criminal assault on me or my FAMILY is entirely different than a fire assaulting my home. I put my family above my home at all times. I don't expect the police to ever be available for anything. They are useless in So Cal. That's why my wife and I are armed at all times.

I built my home once, I could build it again. I don't expect the fire dept to do anything more than put out fires. They are not there to protect homes or save peoples asses when they are in too deep. They are there to put out fires as fast as possible.
