    Yeah, but those statistics weren’t taken in a country that is being invaded or going through a civil war

        I don’t think anybody is. A second civil war in America, seems eminent if they don’t invade Canada first

      True, and I’d agree on the civil war point.

      If you’re prepping for an invasion your best bet would be supporting wartime mobilizations instead of personal defense. Bootstrapping a total war economy is no joke.

      Your government can probably handle the logistics of recruiting/arming/training people better than local defense cells. However, even if you’re not enlisted they’ll still need people to work the factories, drive the trucks, sell war bonds, etc…
