Usually people help each other in cases of emergency (of course media is more interested in situations are not).

And even if it would be useful, the danger of owning a gun is higher than the likelihood of an emergency that you prepped for.

A scenario where prepping efforts come to fruition is far from "usual"; one's preconceptions about how others act should be reevaluated in the face of it. Again, this comes down to what you are prepping for.
