The FRS (Family Radio Service) freqs do not require licensing, and the Baofengs will operate on them, but I believe that, legally, you are supposed to use a radio type accepted for the service, and I doubt that Baofengs are type accepted for FRS (but don’t take my word for it, you may want to check it out).

Of course, in 3 days the government of the United States is going to be illegitimate, and the FCC is an arm of that illegitimate government, so I’ll leave it to you to decide how much those requirements actually mean.

Resistance can take many, many forms.

This is correct. The Baofengs will transmit at higher power than allowed on FRS and GMRS.
