When you strap on a gun and go looking for trouble, you'll find it.

Has anybody thought about NOT going to a riot and just staying home?
Didn't work out so well for the 17 year old Illinois wannabee.

You're not Rand Paul, that's why. His neighbor beat the **** out of him.

Good video.
Attend a riot, reap the consequences. What do people expect when the police are neutered, at best, and lawlessness reigns.
Want anarchy, you get it.
Stupidity all around. Btw, I see some of the "peaceful protesters" were armed.

Almost since I got my first VA CCP my choice for EDC has been either a Baby Chiefs Spl or an even smaller 32 HE snub on the tiny I frame. My custom 639 I'm currently building may get the nod if things continue moving the way they are, but I'll probably spend more time at home where I have an over abundance of ammo (and the guns to shoot it! 
)

Change in EDC? Not *really*
I have not changed *what* I carry. But I have made two changes due to increasing occurrences of sudden civil unrest that are spontaneously imitated in totally unrelated communities (I live in Minnesota, so... that says enough?).
I now *always* carry a spare 10-rd mag for my Ruger SR40c (my usual carry). Also when I opt for my CZ 97 (.45, 10+ 1). And sometimes I'll also have a small BUG tucked somewhere (Ruger LCP or Beretta 21 in .25, with a spare mag for that). But usually, just my usual, single pistol EDC.
It's at *home* that I've made changes. Couple shotguns loaded with slugs (20 ga and 12 ga). And I always have pistols hidden throughout the house in 9mm, 40 and 45. Just always have.
I plan to *avoid* any areas that flare up in rioting. But a recent BLM demostration that was *supposed* to stay downtown (basically shutting down all downtown businesses, who pulled in all their outside displays, locked up, and sent employees home -- just in case -- though nothing happened there), migrated to residential communities and went right down the street past my HOUSE. They were throwing **** out their car doors, horns blazing. There were marchers crossing our yards. ... I stayed *inside* and was ready if parties decided to enter homes. Didn't happen, but... to see those masses. To see the havoc. ... It wouldn't take but a blink of an eye to have it come out differently -- and I was as fortified as I could be inside my home.
Their decision to stay in the *streets* -- considering how well ready I was to repel them -- saved countless numbers of their lives.
Thank goodness, in *this* community, while it was loud and unruly, fireworks going off everywhere sounding like gunshots, no one died. No businesses burned. ... At least till *next* time.
This is so surreal. The BLM movement rears its head, it has people hiding, barricaded in their homes. And it's a threat that not only doesn't go away, it just flares up in a moment. Fwoof! You can get caught in it just by going out to buy bread for supper, not knowing anything was "up" that day.
And Minneapolis? I wouldn't go there for anything. Stay away.

Exactly
At 17, he can enlist with his parents' permission, serve his country. So, here goes this little patriot into the fray to help protect the police, and he's attacked by the crowd, has to defend himself.
God bless him and all who share his attitude. Their presence saved countless more businesses from burning that day. And those who died in front of his weapon? I'm sure that wasn't *his* intention. That was the mob, forcing lethal reaction. The only abomination that day was that other 2A advocates didn't immediately come to his aid.

Nice photo of a P250. I'm an old revolver guy, so when I went to a higher capacity semiauto, I chose a Sig P250. It has a perfect double action revolver trigger pull of about 7 lbs. Carries comfortably, too. Unfortunately, Sig decided to discontinue the P250 several years ago (dunderheads!!). Fortunately, I have multiples of their FCUs and kits in various calibers. I normally carry .357 Sig in a P250C. I have been known to switch to a 9mm on occasion, though.

If I was dumb enough to be wannabe Karen enforcer I hope I'd be smart enough to take an inexpensive firearm to the gunfight knowing it might be confiscated.

Dave, I believe you are on to something. Good call.
Yeah , vigilante murder is something we should all be behind. Sheeple, turn off cable TV. It's getting you worked up. How about some top down leadership instead of stirring the pot. This dividing of the country is a planned strategy and it is working.
We don't have that problem down here.

Just watched an interesting video of Kyle offering medical assistance to an injured "peaceful protestor" during said "peaceful protest".
"I am an EMT, come here".
Wait for the facts, all of them.

Two felons and a convicted domestic abuser: all three prohibited from firearms possession. When are we going to see the survivor arrested, charged, and prosecuted for possession of a firearm after a felony conviction and assault with a deadly weapon?
