“This Nightmare Must End: The Trump/Pence Regime Must Go! In the Name of Humanity, We REFUSE to Accept a Fascist America!” – ANTIFA
Antifa (I refer to them as Anti-everything) is planning a nationwide demonstration on November 4th, 2017. They are calling for all good anarchists to demonstrate:
“in cities and towns across the country continuing day after day and night after night – not stopping — until our DEMAND is met: This Nightmare Must End: The Trump/Pence Regime Must Go! In the Name of Humanity, We REFUSE to Accept a Fascist America!”
I find it rather funny that the lawfully elected President of these United States is being threatened with removal from office (the innuendo be it by force) by the same group of people that can’t tie their shoes without a YouTube video explaining it.
So, what will I be doing on November 4th? Well, I plan on going about my business as I usually do. I always carry a self-defense firearm, so that’s nothing new. I may add an additional magazine to my carry, just as a precaution. I always have a long gun nearby, and that will not change. Other than that, I plan on going fishing that day. I will however, be avoiding large public gatherings and travel to major metropolitan cities .
But if you have to visit one of those types of places, or are unfortunate enough to get caught up in one of the demonstrations while driving through town, you need to know your state’s laws on self-defense. Of course you should know those anyway, it’s just plain common sense to know what you can and cannot do to defend yourself, your loved ones, and friends.
But what you do not have the right to do is break these laws, damage people’s property, detain people against their will by blocking roads and traffic, threatening people, and of course committing unlawful violence.
I wrote an article titled “Protesters be Warned” a while back about these demonstrations. It specifically speaks of the laws in Florida, but has a good overall view of these issues and refers people to their own states use of force statutes or laws.
With a recent article in the media about there being 3 million Americans carrying a self-defense firearm daily, and about 9 million doing it at least once a month, I think that number will increase with this new threat from Anti-America.
To Antifa, you may wish to consider following the laws on peaceful protest. Everyone has the right to peacefully protest, as guaranteed by the US Constitution. But what you do not have the right to do is break these laws, damage people’s property, detain people against their will by blocking roads and traffic, threatening people, and of course committing unlawful violence.
Just remember that many of the people who wanted change last November are the same ones that carry a self-defense firearm. They do not take kindly to being threatened, being bashed with protest signs, or having rocks thrown at them while minding their own business. We carry self-defense firearms for just that reason, self-defense.
To Antifa I say enjoy yourself at your peaceful protest and exercise your rights but turn that protest into a violent one, and you may have bitten off a bit more than you can chew.
