On top of all this there would be the problem of many states seceding from the Union....

I wish I could be so optimistic. My experience tells me that probably 99% of the US troops will do what they are ordered.

Don't be so quick to think that....my experience tells me that percentage is somewhat lower. I would venture a guess that not many in U.S. uniform today would answer to someone wearing a blue beret, especially on U.S. soil.

Our troops have worn the blue beret at one time or another.

One thing that is worth noting about the illegal disarmament in New Orleans. This occurred in the most leftist most corrupt city in tn the United States. Many of the police agencies refused to have anything to do with it. While they collected what seems like a lot of guns Most people didn't give up them up. Lots of people still had their guns after the occupying forces had left. They just told the storm troopers they didn't have any guns. The storm troopers didn't have a list. This isn't New Orleans, and even the people of Austin wouldn't give up their guns if they were asked.

The one lady who did stand up to the police and exposed to the world the corruption in NOLA should be recognized as a national hero and given a holiday in her name. We worship the likes of Lindsy Lohan and Paris Hilton, yet we forget the true heros of this nation.

I would have sold all mine to Sheila Jackson Lee, 2 days before it became illegal.
All they have to do is ask me. I'll tell em

If I have a CHL, the Feds will know I have a gun and come first to my house to confiscate it and put me in jail.
If I don't have a CHL, I'll not be their target. What should I do?

So how are you answering such questions? I want some good responses to convince my friends of the benefits of being licensed and carrying their guns concealed away from their homes to protect themselves and their loved ones and others.

Thanks for your help.

As others have mentioned the pedulam has been swing our way, and is still increasing momentum.
Not only has the supreme court weighed in twice in the last couple of years to reaffirm that we peoples have the right to own and bear arms. The legislature allowed the assault weapon ban to expire, and passed laws restricting gun confiscations during a state of emergency.

Our having a licence is not in away proof that we guns .. If our guns did ever become illegal, the feds have no right to demand to come looking for them. If or constitution becomes suspended and we lose the right to bear arms and the rights against unreasonable search and seizure I don't believe most of us will have many guns at home, but rather on the fields of combat ... Our government would have ceased to exist as the republic as we have known it.
