Yes, I've geared up in response to a mag fed sidearm, light, shillelagh and avoidance.
Can I make a difference? It remains to be seen, but doing nothing is the governments job!
Yep, extra mags on my person also...... may be time to tuck a carbine and mags in the truck..... might also be time to get off my duff and finish my AR pistol build so it can serve in the vehicle (short barrel and short buffer should make an "easier to fire from seated in a vehicle" gun).
If more people had the mindset of some this forum's core members we might not have got this far gone over the last thirty years.....
Can I make a difference now?
Maybe not on a large scale...but I have to continue to believe that I can in my immediate area (to those around me, family & friends) or I might as well give up now.
This nation is already up on the lip of the frying pan......and it's not a far leap into the fire.
