In my experience those who are ideologically anti-gun are really anti-self-defense, and they will answer no to this question. They aren't perturbed by the response you propose because they believe that saying no is a sign of their moral superiority. Some of these people are true ideological zealots who really believe their own nonsense and don't even want the police to shoot such an attacker, but most really only expect "the rules" to apply to their "inferiors" and are happy to let police do the shooting --at least when the police are protecting those so ideologically enlightened-- because it allows them to be above it all and retain their belief in their own moral superiority. They consider anyone who doesn't share their conceptions to be beneath them, and in their depraved view, criminals are downtrodden victims of people like us, and if we are attacked we deserve it.

The inevitable answer to your question is ALWAYS, "I would never have a gun in my hand". The conversation goes no further from there.
