Impractical. The government has enough weapons in storage for almost every US citizen to fight back an invasion. It would also be obvious as hell that someone was to invade because of the buildup it would require, ie. movement of troops, equipment, etc.

Not as many as you think, and not nearly the ammo to do the job.

More than once I’ve thought of loading a skid of M14’s onto the back of my truck at the local armory and heading for the hills. Sadly, I just can’t see the gubmint turning those guns loose to us peasants to fight the invaders. Thats for the army, you know.

Precisely. Given our current intelligence surveillance platforms, there is no way a massive invasion force could cross either ocean without being easily detected, and probably well before they even get out of the gate.
