If u are afraid of an invasion, organize a home guard like European countries (or use the NG) so u have an organisation with a command structure, supply lines etc. Its very naive to belive that a bunch of civilians with rifles can put up any resistance in a conventional war against an army. Guerilla warfare is a different thing but even then it comes with a high prize. And even then it will take quite some time before the guerillas has gained enough experience to be effective.

But as Kampfer said: In neither case is it neccessary to bring the gun to the store, there will be enough time for u to go home and get the gun before the red horde is upon u.

You'd have to be suicidal to fight a conventional war with a civilian force (militia), unless you simply outnumber and outclass your enemy. The very point of the populace being armed is that conventional warfare becomes impossible, and therefore invasion becomes impossible, because every civilian encountered is likely a guerilla fighter. An armed populace is entirely a resistant force which is a deterrent to invasion and dictatorship, not a standing army. In fact, the Founder's documents state that very concept.

Of cource, the US should know that from Vietnam, A-stan Iraq etc. But point is that a guerilla is only effective when the enemy has won the conventional war ie occupying the land. And i guess that the plan was to stop the enemy before they did that. Guerilla war is only used when no other option is left.

But even the guerilla war can be organized, Swedish army for ex had several brigades trained for guerilla warfare in order to deny an enemy a safe zone in occupied areas.

No one belive US is going to be invaded.
As for the personal safety/freedom its a matter of personal opinion and i think it has been covered. Personally im convinced that it safer to restrict guns and only allow Police etc to carry guns in public. More guns for the good guys means also more guns for the bad guys.
But thats just me.
