The account lists 5 hostiles attacking. Not good odds, but not suicide either.

Okay, let's assume you engage all five hostiles and wound, kill or drive them all off.

Is that the end of the story?

Hardly. They will call in SWAT. Especially if you managed to kill one or more of the "hostiles," your chance of committing suicide in the long run (as in a couple of hours) is excellent.

You are NOT going to "win" a firefight with the cops. Not if they know who and where you are.

I'm perfectly willing to admit there are circumstances in which it's appropriate to die on a particular hill. But before deciding to engage in a firefight with LEO you should at least be aware that is what you are doing.

You may not win the firefight.

But you will stand before God, able to tell Him. “Lord, I defended my wife and the children you gave me, while wicked men attacked me without cause. Forgive me for my trespasses and protect my widow and orphaned children.”

If you are the one invading an innocent man’s home, and you make his wife a widow and his children orphans, it is not the man whom you murdered to whom you will ultimately answer.

“You are NOT going to “win” a firefight with the cops.”

Probably not, but I have a duty as a citizen to give battle nonetheless. Read the Declaration of Independence to see why. Sometimes duty has to be put above personal survival.
