I would caution you on making any decision based on what you believe to be a "lawful order". Whether or not an order is lawful is not your decision, but the decision of your Court Martial board, should you decide not to obey the order given.
I can assure you, that if an order is given with respect to enforcing an enacted law, it is lawful until the SCOTUS decides otherwise, not you.
Your best, first line of defense is to ensure no such law is enacted. After that, if you are not willing to enforce it, then I would highly suggest leaving the military or LE organization in which you belong.
