[ding ding ding] COLORADO!

You have NO IDEA of the number of armed people here in the Rocky Mountain state, or of the type of horrific topography an enemy would have to deal with as hidden resistors rained a bloody hail of bullets down on them from hidden mountain aireys and from previously quiet forests.

It would be ugly. If the enemy air power was negated by US forces, his armies would suffer grevious casualties assaulting in the foothils alone!

Oh please Denver and Bolder would fold in 5 min. if the enemy said they brought latté.

Wrong answer, Steve. While Boulder's got its share of hippies and college punks, the surrounding towns (Longmont, Loveland (home of Jensen Arms, that store alone could hold off an army division - you have to see it to believe it!), Superior, and Broomfield, has a very high hunter/redneck contingent.

Texas hands down. Remember the Alamo! I'm not so sure about Florida. It seems to me that you have a lot of retirees from New England and Cuban immigrants there. I really don't think they'd be very motivated or effective against an invading force.

Basically, BushCountry would defend everyone else http://www.usatoday.com/news/politicselections/vote2004/countymap.htm
I'd like to think that Georgia would be in the top 10, but we probably have too many Lib-tards in Atlanta. Besides, we couldn't defend Atlanta the last time a foreign army invaded it.

Actually, Georgia would win with proper employment of tactics: Let the envaders take Atl quickly, then surroun them, lay siege and cut off their supply of Starbucks and Bagels. White Flags by noon...[/quote]

I think people are making the mistake of equating lax gun laws and local gun culture with the ability to "inflict damage" on an invading army. Subconscience delusions of grandeur and machismo.

It's the gonna be the state with the most complex terrain (urban areas) and high concentrations of people. That's probably CA, even with their bolt action rifles and 10 shot handguns. Although one can say that for Texas too. In states with large, open areas, the invading army has the advantage. Anyone living on a farm isn't going to last long.

I'm gonna say probably Montana, Texas &...Arizona. Vermont, NH and Maine might kick some ass too, but obviously not as much since the populations are smaller.

So AZ is still good to go

We don't have those silly restrictions, and the last time I drove across town, it was 89 miles from my driveway to the far edge of Goodyear. Soon Phoenix will encompass everything from Springerville to the east, Prescott in the north, Nogales in the south, and the spot where California was, up until that earthquake.....

I wanted to add something to my comment about appalachia....it's our version of Afganistan...
terrain favors a defender - the land is steep and punishing, but hill people know their land like....the back of their briar-scared hands.

something else particularly unique about appalachia, the appalachian chain runs from pennsylvania down through Georgia.. thin at the top (PA) and bottom (GA) but thick in KY - the people have sort of been cut off from the rest of the country, and they are a little different, from the language to the way they think.

Well don't be looking to Canada, to much Gun-Control up here. It's getting to point where we can't even yell at criminals anymore, or we'll get charged with harassment. Hell pretty soon we'll be leaving front doors open, so that we don't get sued for liable by the criminals, in case they hurt themselves breaking in.

At first I thought Hawaii, because the invading army would have to stage multiple amphibious assualts, plus there are remote areas, cliffs, and jungles for guerilla fighting. But how many guns do they have?

Then I thought Idaho. Lots of mountains, be great for guerilla fighting. Also, lots of guns per capita (not very many people though). But hey, Larry Craig is their senator and he's on the NRA board.

Most everyone is well armed and has what it would take to use them, with the exception of some in the large cities.

+1 Ohio doesnt get enough credit, aside from the big cities most have firearms. And the rural areas are fairly well populated for being rural. Although I think texas might still be a tad better because they have a larger population.

Alaska. They'd fucking freeze to death.

"During the commie scare-era of the Cold War, someone pointed out that Russia was, in fact, a mere twelve miles away from Alaska. This caused panic at first, until someone also pointed out that nobody in his right mind would invade there because it was too fucking cold. Everybody moved on past the commie scare and the Cold War continued to live up to its name."

Ask Napolean and Hitler what destroyed them in Russia, the Russians or the Russian Winter.

We could kill 90% of any invading force without a shot being fired. There are maybe 5 MSRs that we could cut off with no problems and a small amount of C-4.
Then let the invaders freeze to death.
Give me 200 Alaskans and one Alaskan winter and it would be a done deal.
also, for # of weapons per capita, nobody touches Alaska (Anchorage would fall pretty fast, but they are mostly pussies)
They would never make it past the brooks range.

Hi there Stucky! This is Arizona checking in with the fifth fucking largest city in the country.

And once you get away from the city, you get to the towns, where open carry is the norm.

Also home to the plant where the sweet little AH64 D Longbow is made, as well as Dillon Aero.

Just up the road from Boeing is Talley Defense. I can't tell you exactly what they make there, but I can tell you it makes tannerite look like a wet fart.

Sure, we have our problems, but I'd wager that between the Mormons and the Shitkickers, backed up by the countless class 3 junkies could hand out a healthy dose of fucking hurt.

Nobody wants to come here anyhow. In the summer it's a hundred and eleventy billion degrees out with 60% humidity.

What he said. Our city people are armed to the teeth. House-to-house fighting is the real bitch in any war.

We'll tell the Mesa PD the invaders are non-Mormon Mexicans with butter knives... they'll be on them quick

I'd love to agree with all the people saying Texas and even include my great state of Georgia(can't believe no one from here has chimed in yet).

Montanna - Free men there. or perhaps Waco Texas. The invaders would of course be Nazi or KBG chapters operating as government agents "protecting the people" while shooting, firebombing or killing mothers holding babies.

The only invasion this country will suffer is by our own government as it gives a wink and a nod to mexicans (I truely DO like Mexicans) as they cross the borders we refuse to close. And the invasion of a police State in the name of 'homeland security'.

Homeland security Should BE a 12 guage pump shotgun. NOT the KGB mascarading in ATF, FBI, HS or other govt provided uniforms while they tramble on the constitution. NO, I am NOT a right wing extremist, just pointing out that GOVT can use it's unlimited power very unwisely and unjustly.

I believe that Texas would inflict the most casualties on an invading army. In fact I believe that Texas would inflict the most atrocities on an invading army. My second vote would go to Florida with a close third going to Arizona. I am talking about a Red Dawn scenario.

Mexico has been invading your state for years, you pretty much lost.

much as i love my home state, most of texas is perfect tank country, which is not good terrain for guerrilla fighting. i'd have to vote for the more mountainous states, especially in the appalachians. colorado has too many liberals, and montana has too few humans. i suspect that virginia and the carolinas have the combination of good terrain and enough population density to put a hurt on a combined-arms invader.

I think NH would be very tough to invade, for one thing, any invading army would have to get through our toll booth, would get backed up for miles and soon fall prey to our latest mosquito borne WMD, Eastern Equine Encephalitis.

Those that don't fall ill will soon realize there is nothing in NH worth fighting over, retreat into Massachusetts, hopefully engaging in rape, pillage and murder on an unprecedented scale.

I've read all four pages of this thread so far and the one thing I've noticed is, it don't matter where an invading army lands, this country is still full of proud Partriots who would quickly show any invader the folly of their mistake

Sure we would have to sacrifice a state or two (Kalifornia comes to mind) and a few libtard cities, but by and large any invaders would pay a very heavy price for their foolishness!!!

And to those who say that AZ can't even handle the current 'invasion' keep one thought in mind, so far the goobermint has our hands tied, in the case of an all out enemy military invasion all bets would be off!!!......
