I 'open fire' when/if they come for me, my family, or friends and neighbors. I'll consider widening that range of people when I can see more people doing the same.
The problem is that we've been conditioned for 80 years to trust and rely on the government, that it's taking along time to show that people need to distrust the government. Hell, look at yourself will. You still believe that there are things that only the government can do, or must do, to ensure public safety, or your safety. This is a mindset that a free people must be able to step away from, but until a majority can do that, we'll still be faced with the soccer moms/dads who will balk at anything other than sanctioned government protection.
