(10,164 posts)One of the most important is to practice proper firearms security. My guns are locked up in a strong gun safe when not in my possession or direct observation. I've had weapon retention training. I consider it to be an intrinsic component of responsible gun ownership to take effective steps to keep one's weapons out of the wrong hands.
On the (enormously unlikely) chance we were both in a situation where an armed person was clearly threatening violence and it wasn't practical to either skedaddle or hunker down and wait for a police response, I'd consider it my moral responsibility to assess the situation and see if I could reasonably intervene. I consider that to be the moral responsibility of any person who has a realistic chance of stopping such things.
