I don't think that anyone sane plans on shooting it out with the police and military. More like protecting yourself/family/home from unfettered gangs of criminal looters/robbers/rapists/etc. in the event of total breakdown of public services, which is more than a possibility. It's actually happened several times recently in the U.S. When it happens in L.A., it's a little different from happening in Galveston or even San Jose.

Even the vegetarians with cardboard shoes were looking for gats and bullets during the L.A. riots. It was terrifying for people to be a prisoner in their houses watching the local news and trying to figure out if the rioters are getting near them. That's a realistic scenario, not fighting the government.
