Good deal. I hope PA always stays as you described it, but given the amount of people moving from NY/NJ/MD, the writing is on the wall.

Stay safe, and I’m hoping that you are right and I am wrong in this.


Monroe county perhaps. Infested with NY parasites. The Lehigh Valley and PA Dutch Country, the majority of the people there will never cotton to that invader shit.


Pretty much every working class white guy in Philly has a few guns, some straight up Arsenals. Just about every labor union guy I know has a solid collection.

South Philly is lots of Italians. You better believe they have guns. South Philly Italians love hunting believe it or not.

I think we might lose. We have a bunch of pussies, millinnials, hippies, socialist and communist being brought up in our schools every day and we aren't stopping that. Our borders are being overrun every day and we aren't stopping that. People like Clinton, obama, pelosi, schumer, Bernie, warren, occasional-cotex, biden...keep getting elected. It breaks my heart, but it's only going to get worse.

It would be very regional.

Some areas would kick ass - basically from mid-Texas eastward toward the Atlantic, as far north as St Louis would do pretty well, as would some other states / areas.

Urban areas would fold, as would the left coast.

I think people underestimate the power of artillery. Infantry may be the queen of battle, but artillery is the king

And the king fucks the queen all the time


It is entirely plausible that, if need be, an invading force could kill 7 million. Easily. See: the German Army in Russia....they killed nearly triple that....and that was with technology that is 80 years old

A big threat would be from the influx of namby-pambies flowing out of places like California, New York and Connecticut.

Imagine if every red blooded AR15 owning American got the green light to arm up and go shoot some commies. We'd run out of commies before most of us could even get there.


Playing devils advocate... I’ll bet a lot of Muslims said that before the USSR invaded Afghanistan, before October 2001, before March 2003.

That said, I wouldn’t want to invade any state that still has decent gun laws.

Too bad that western Washington is the northwest corner. It would be easy to invade. The threat is eastern wa where the second amendment is still alive.

Hunting? This I never heard anything about. Maybe it's a northern Italian thing. Big Grin Cool

Unless something has changed since I lived back east, a few people in West and North Philadelphia have firearms, too.

I think most of Florida would do fine. I may be "out" of the Army for 20+ years but I know my household would do OK until we are outnumbered/overrun. We would however have a pile of empty brass and some hot weapons next to our dead corpses.

I do think that it would'nt be just the humans an invader would have to worry about here in Florida. Out of all the venomous species of animals in North America, IIRC we have all of them here. Plus if the invaders come thru the glades during alligator mating or nesting season some of them will become alligator shit. The rattlesnakes and cottonmouths would definitely freak them out too. They would also play hell in Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana with our swamps and marshes to bog them down.

THey can have Miami.

Minnesota would probably fold like a cheap suit. The commies have been in control for too long now and want to turn us into the Kalifornia of the midwest.

Good point on the military bases as it's a lot more effective than the metric shit ton of rifles, shotguns, and pistols that Texas citizens have. We (Texas) have 15 military bases with some heavy hitting ground divisions (1st armor, 1st cav), and a strategic bomber air base (7th BW has the B1 at Dyess).

I am not worried about an invasion from anything other than south of the border in the Americas.
Out biggest threat is the crazy ass dems getting total power and amending the Constitution to some commie shit.

Tucson maybe, Phoenix no way in hell. We have Dillon to supply us with reloading essentials and mini guns. Several Costcos to fall back on and fortify as supply bases, we'll be well supplied with beer, frozen pizza and big screen TV's. Scottsdale Gun Club and Ben Avery exist for reasons, there's a lot of gun owners in Phoenix.

Our country is just too dam big for an invader to control everything that they would need to control to pull something like that off. Just ain't gonna happen.

Our biggest threat is the democrats and our southern border.

The problem is that the good people respond to the challenge. The progressives et al hang back, survive, and distort the breeding pool, making the next generation worse.

I'm more scared of a World War Z scenario than I am of a Red Dawn scenario..... Eek



"If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24
