This time, I have to agree with Iris7. This was not the time to offer armed resistance. That time may come and maybe sooner than we like to think about, but it was not a nationwide gun grab, it was local. Were I all by myself, I still might offer my own version of the Alamo, but I could not offer my poor wife's neck into certain death. You married a freeper. Honestly, could you? Be honest. You know it's small potaotes and local. Your lives will be but a blip on the radar. Certainly not a Ruby Ridge or the whispered lore of gun legends. The thing to have done was to cache in advance and keep a throw away just in case. A four inch 38 would keep away the riff raff and hey let the cops grab it. THAT is a lawsuit that would keep the issue front and center later. Yeah, I'd be fuming. But I like to think I would not be stupid. There is a reason that the military counsels that the best course of action in wartime is to choose your battle; don't let the battle choose you.
