Of course there is an imbalance of power. There's no way an individual that feels threatened by the external collective can fight back with a gun or two. Even if you're the prepper type who's stocked up on ammo and well prepared, that fight is eventually going to end with you losing. Life isn't Rambo where an individual takes on an entire collective and comes out the winner.

Even then, it is better to go out with at least a little bit of a fight if you're attacked. In the end I suppose it doesn't matter whether you're carrying or not, because even if you are able to defend yourself from an attack by the collective, that is only a momentary win. They'll get you in the end anyway.
