If you’re currently versed in Firearms and are able to start a chapter, or if you are lucky enough to live in an area with a local chapter the SRA is a good organization. However they are apparently fractured and their politics may not align. https://socialistra.org/
Unfortunately, you also need to know how you’ll react in a life or death situation. Most people haven’t experienced being involved in a gun battle, and no matter how you think you’ll react, you don’t know until shots start firing.
I had always assumed I’d freeze up if it happened, but when I was on Bourbon Street during Mardi gras when shots rang out, I surprised myself. I immediately, without thinking, got down and ducked into an alley, then had to go back for my friends who froze.
Familiarity is important, training will save your life.

A more decentralized option could be a John Brown Gun Club https://www.counterextremism.com/supremacy/john-brown-gun-club
Good basis of organized tactics. The guide below is more about organized movement than direct fire. Below will NOT help you in a firefight as it relies on a much larger trained force than you are likely to have. Good to know what the bastards study though. https://www.trngcmd.marines.mil/Portals/207/Docs/TBS/B2F2837 Rifle Squad Tactics.pdf?ver=2015-05-27-100939-710

I’m not advocating a gunfight. I’m advocating training and muscle memory.
