I also live in "hurricane country" in a rural area, and I have the same preparedness habits as you. However, I would much rather die defending my freedom, than to die from a disease that I caught from some careless individual who thought they had a right to run around infecting everyone. I have a right to walk the street freely without fear of some individual putting my life in danger just because they thought they had a right to walk around freely with a highly infectious and potentially dangerous disease. Even if it doesn't kill me, I still don't want to be sick for two or three weeks.
NO,you don't. You have a right to self defense in any manner you see fit but your rights never ever supersede another individuals. That's known as tyranny.
