Was he lecturing you, or telling you something *true* that you didn't like?

That is a very good point, and it just been left at that you would be fully correct, he would have been mostly right and it is something that I would not have wanted to hear. His overall point was that he believed protection was up to the police, even after pointing out a (his words) dismal response time.
It might bear on the conversation that we both went to HS in New York, I managed to escape that state twelve years ago and have not looked back. The whole conversation was started when it appeared as if retired LEO's were going to be exempt from all of the NYS firearms nonsense that was recently passed. I mentioned to him that I did not see it as being appropriate that only LEO's and retired LEO's were going to be allowed to defend themselves. Granted, I could have phrased it far more tactfully, but I didn't.
