Buy one of those cheapo plastic glocks and hang it the shower.

on theghighroad in the 2001-2004 days, the rage was to have a "gun on a rope" in your shower when you shower. Keep it in a heavy duty plastic bag hanging from a hook in the shower.
And alot of that talk was not people making fun of the Gecko45 days, but things they were actually doing. I almost miss those days.

It actually would be awful fun to do a model of a tactical wheel barrow.

For me... day to day life is my scenario. Being armed is simply being ready (the best you can) and not being an automatic victim.
Because I can. Because I want to. Because this is America.
The really true logical thing is, I want the odds in my favor of surviving day to day and going home. We live in an increasingly unstable world, full of unstable people. People get hurt or killed doing just normal activities. Even shopping. That's why I don't do malls.
I don't carry to be a "hero" or protect others. I'm not a cop. Don't wanna be. If the situation arose, I'd do it, but personal protection and the protection of my family is my top reason.
I never leave the house unarmed.

I think its worth coming back to your opening post. Here's how I see it. If those are situation where you (or anyone) think its most likely a scenario may unfold, then its worth taking the next steps preparation. This doesn't have to be full scenarios - to some extent those who poke fun at that idea are right. We can't plan what people will actually do.
Rather what I'm suggesting (and you may have already done so) is know the entrances and exit options, how people may move, where there is cover, etc, and maybe some ways you will respond depending on what the bad guy(s) are doing. We can save ourselves time if a sitation develops so we are not looking around for cover/exit/assistance but already know our options.

If you’re taking your family somewhere that you have to preplan to that degree, just don’t go . . .

Obviously I disagree with your premise. If one has already decided it is too dangerous a location to be, then one has already included an assesment of the physical environment and resources available.
The premise here is that a person has already decided its prudent to have a firearm on hand for self-defense for a relatively low probablity event. Every group I have worked with has an emergency plan in case of accident on-site. Its an unlikely event, but when using dangerous tools or working with fire, it includes more than just having a first aid kit or fire extinguisher. It includes knowing how to call, who to call, how to get out, and knowing where the nearest trauma center is. Even when working alone - maybe especially so - if say I'm welding, I have the fire extinguishers so they are along routes toward an exit, not in a dead corner. Its just completing the circle.

Well.... any time I leave the Compound and venture into the Twilight Zone beyond farm territory. It's not that there aren't good Americans out there, but you just never know.

I'm awake, therefore, I'm armed.

Twilight Zone is a fitting description of the times today.
