Maybe, but are you really going to say that no one in New Orleans has a similar disposition? Of course not, there are plenty of people in New Orleans that believe firmly in an "originalist" interpretation of the Second Amendment and believe, similarly to you, that if someone comes to take their guns, they'; open fire. And they didn't do anything at all. Not one shot was fired. All of the people there that were just like you didn't do anything but complain.
Put yourself into the scenario. There's a natural disaster, let's say an F5 tornado decimates your area, leaving tens of thousands homeless and untold dead. People are being evacuated because the storms are still coming. You know people are are dead, or have had their homes and business destroyed. You're scared, as you should be. There's a knock at the door, so you go to answer, and it's 10 armed city police officers, National Guard members, and US marshals (iirc, there were 6-10 men were at Patricia Konie's door). You instantly think of your closest weapon, I won't pretend to know where or what it might be, but then you likely realize that you can't take all of these guys without likely getting killed yourself. Maybe you can take two or three with you, maybe.
Are you sure you'd open fire?
