No, while I have a responsibility to defend my family and country, I do not have a responsibility to protect others who fail to prepare to protect themselves or when doing so may subject my family to financial ruin.

Granted, I am likely to try help others, but no, I have no responsibility to do it.

I wasn't onboard with that part either.  Should be my choice not responsibility.

What's the "Good Neighbor Act?" The comment that you quoted is valid.

It may be that they mean this in the sense of worse case scenario and laws are not much in play. In that case, I would have some, not very many, that I would protect. However, I don't have a duty to put myself in jeopardy for someone else. There are a few folks that think they can run to my house in a SHTF situation. I told them that they would be a threat to me and mine at that point and I would have to take that into serious consideration if ya know what I mean.

Mali:
I have had several people who, for one reason or another, know I carry and said that they were glad because it means I would be there to defend them.
I quickly pointed out that I am not anyone's champion other than my family and their personal well-being is their own responsibility and not mine. I said this very politely, of course. :D
