None of what you wrote indicates that you can't arm yourself - you've just outlined reasons why you can't be assed to do it and it sure sounds hyperbolized to me. For example, your excuse of an old fudd thinking you shouldn't be armed just for being a registered Democrat... why the hell would you just disclose that information when it's not relevant to what you'd be doing at all. Go in, take your shots, get your paperwork, and leave. You don't need to get into your personal politics.
You make it sound like going through a vetting process is such an inconvenience. The only real hindrance you've outlined is costs. The comment reads like pure defeatist.
