      True, and I’d agree on the civil war point.

      If you’re prepping for an invasion your best bet would be supporting wartime mobilizations instead of personal defense. Bootstrapping a total war economy is no joke.

      Your government can probably handle the logistics of recruiting/arming/training people better than local defense cells. However, even if you’re not enlisted they’ll still need people to work the factories, drive the trucks, sell war bonds, etc…
