Reply #20: A Citizen's first responsibility

[DWC]

is the protection and defense of those in their charge and themselves.

Sadly, all you have shown is that these adult, citizen victims appear to have been unprepared to defend themselves or the child in their charge. They apparently expected this situation to never happen to them and, if it did, expected police to protect them.

You asked where were the CCW neighbors? One armed neighbor did assist in taking the murder down 11 minutes into the attack. The real question is why were the homeowners not armed and prepared to defend themselves and those in their charge?

You have provided an example of tragic situation where guns in the hands of intended victims trained in their use would have saved lives.
