If it comes to such a thing, the last way to go out is outnumbered, taken by surprise or in a situation where your family or other innocents are at risk.jb2012 wrote:I have to disagree, while yes there have been dramatic increases in gun sales, I don't find it indicative to the number of folks who will truly stand up when 3 guys knock on yohr door demanding registration/confiscation.

A situation as outlined would be a war, and wars require tactics, strategy and discipline. One of the first tenets taught to leaders is that if at all possible, you choose the time and place for battle.
When three guys in SWAT gear (maybe five or ten) arrive, be pleasant, compliant and non-confrontational. Give them the junk you have on hand (be sure to have something) and give them no reason to act or have additional suspicion about you.
There'll be a time and place to act.
