Joe,
What I'm talking about is who would be logical targets if Montana did secede and reprisals were launched at anyone in Montana sans open warfare. It's called going after the head of the snake.
That said, I doubt anyone who would secede would not do so without securing their assets first. Swiss and Cayman Islands banks would see an influx of cash, and gold sales would spike just before such a move.
Those who are dependent upon Social Security and Medicare would suffer, but I think such hardships are to be expected and the seceding state and families might be able to fill up the void - just like how it used to be. (Can you hear FDR laughing his ass off at the thought of how he made a large segment dependent upon the government?) What do you think? Would the federal government recognize Montana's secession and cut off such payments, or not recognize the secession and continue the payments? That's a catch 22 for the federal government.
I think the solution is for Congress to back off on the attacks on our personal freedoms and rights, for the Court to uphold our rights and freedoms, and for all those onerous executive and judicial branch agencies to either disappear or actually do something useful for a change. Securing the borders would be a good start. Confining violent criminals would be another good step.

Those of us who are armed stand in the way of something terrible. I don't know what it is, but it is damned scared of us. Let's keep the fear in its heart, not ours. B.E. Wood
