The government can not protect you.

Right on!

My family's protection is in the bedroom. My wife is proficient with it, and when my boy is old enough, he will be too. I believe it is irresponsible and incomprehesible to have a family and not be armed. And even if you don't have a family, you should be armed anyway. That way when you call the cops, they are coming to pick up the bad guys bits of flesh instead of yours or your loved ones.

You understand the issue and your responsibility.
