If there are any county sheriff officers in the area they might get to my house in 5 minutes. Odds are there won't be and if will take them much longer to arrive. Even minutes can make a difference.
I don't own an assault rifle. I have no need or desire for one.
If I can't make my presence known with my pump shotgun or handgun then I don't see how an assault weapon will serve me. IF you were sneaking around my house in the dark and you heard the sound of a round being chambered in a 12g...you probably wouldn't hang around . It's a very intimidating sound.

What he said ^^^
I live in a very affluent area in Los Angeles. Very near to GrapeSoda I think. AgouraHills.
There are about 5 home invasions every 6 months in the 15-18 mile radius of our house.
There's this new thing that the gang bangers in bad neighborhoods 30-40 miles from the nice areas do called "Flocking".
Essentially they have to drive out of the ghettos because there's nothing else left in the ghettos to steal.
They attack well to do neighborhoods in unincorporated areas, where it takes a longer time for the police to get to the homes.
Tie up the inhabitants, rip their houses apart, take what they want, and in some cases, sexually assault or rape the occupants.
It happens.
People who live in foreign countries don't know what the culture has turned into in the USA, especially in big cities.
Gates don't protect you. Securities don't protect you.
My Mossberg protects me and my family should it ever happen. I don't live in fear. Not one bit. I live prepared.
