Yes, but: The reasoning behind this one strikes us as solid.

Details: The state has a strong military presence (more per-capita than any other state), a lot of law enforcement officials and a higher-than-average number of caves and forests to hide in, per the Free-Lance Star.

Zoom out: Georgia, Massachusetts and New York came in just behind us for space invasion preparedness.

• Nevada ranked last.
