Rick,
Sounds like 'Lethal Laws' would be an interesting and very useful resource. Awhile back, I tried contacting the embassies of Algeria, Uganda, Rwanda, Indonesia and Yugoslavia (and constituent parts) to get their spin on armed citizens. Not much luck there, but I _did_ recall someone reposting an article entitled: "Don't try this at home." Reposted below.

DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME
Conditions had deteriorated rapidly in Algeria when, on May 2, the U.S.
State Department warned against travel in that nation. "The department
urged Americans who choose to ignore the travel warning to exercise
caution," so reported the May 3 Lexington, Kentucky, Courier Journal,
"and [to] take the same precautions that U.S. Embassy personnel and U.S.
oil companies ... in Algeria take, including ... using armed guards at
the airports and carrying weapons for protection." NRA member Robert
Zoeller sent the clipping in with a note that read: "To me it seems
ironic that United States citizens are being encouraged to ignore
Algerian gun control laws while in that country, while at the same time
the Clinton-Gore Administration is attempting to disarm the American
public here at home." Couldn't have put it better ourselves.
