In an executive order signed Monday, Gov. Kenneth Mapp instructed Adjutant General Deborah Howell "to take whatever actions she considers necessary to carry out the assigned mission" of maintaining and restoring public order.

I’d eliminate the governor as soon as that order was given.
I would bug out immediately with my sniper rifle, after having deployed my lethal booby traps that will kill anyone busting into my house. (play stupid games, win stupid prizes, play the obey-an-illegal-order-game and your prize will be dying from a booby trap after you kick a door in)
Then I’d make my way to the governor, and then show what happens to those who give the illegal orders. I would consider an order as such given to be a declaration of hostilities by the governor requiring me to withdraw my consent to be governed.

Yeah, I was going to use that term. Or the 48 contiguous.
At least somebody got it :)
