This is all rather depressing. Sigh.
I live in a small town, 12k, about 50k people in the entire county. Big city about 35 miles out. I’m hoping that LE and military will be concentrating on the urban areas. Our city & county LE is not equipped to lock down everything here, so I am also hoping and thinking that we might be better off left to our own devices. Those of us that are properly armed, I mean.
I also consider it a possibility that our local LE might even work with us to organize armed and responsible adults to maintain control. I’ve not talked about this with of them, but it seems a logical way to go.
There are those areas of this country that will indeed have organized militia. More than likely organized by the local constabulary.

OR they could decide to take what you have to improve their own chances.
Before forcing you into a resettlement camp for your own safety. Nice property you have there, I bet their in-laws would look quite comfortable in it.
You got a problem. Thought the old rule of thumb was beyond a tank of gas from any large city. Hopefully not too many gibsmedats in the city.
Maybe impossible in the northeast, possible in the midwest and west.
In my county we’ve been told that at a minimum it’d be forty-five minutes before a deputy can get to your place; provided he’s not busy somewhere else. The sheriff of Shelton, WA told homeowners to gun up since he doesn’t have the staff.
Back during the Year-2000 angst, one Iowa sheriff proposed deputizing all CCW holders 'just in case".
I thought that brought up a modern-day "Minuteman" problem. Suppose that scenario went down and you were "called up". Would you be willing to leave your family and answer the call to go out of your immediate area?
