I fear the government far more than I fear any criminal!
"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."-Thomas Jefferson
When TJ was worried about it everyone had muskets. Today our governments ability to squash you and your pea shooters like a roach, is much greater.
"The beauty of the second amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it." -Thomas Jefferson
And if they ever do try and "take it" you will lose. Google "waco" or "branch davidians" to see what happens to armed Americans who try and fight the government.
"The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first".-Thomas Jefferson
Your personal stash of firearms may protect you from criminals, its why we have them at my house...but to think you are more than a 15 minute inconvenience for any government agency is ludicrous.
