Defend yourself with a gun!

OP is talking to American Blacks. Get armed.

Are you stupid.

YOU CAN... there are laws protecting you as well - against LEO or otherwise. They are also subject to criminal prosecution if handled the correct way.

Lol, im talking to every American citizen, but like what you did there.

Sometimes

You saved yourself here by saying "if handled the correct way."

I think it comes down to the mass of citizens actually exercising their rights. With so few doing this, it opens the door to stripping our rights and succumbing to submissive behavior to a corrupt establishment.

Great post tho, you're not stupid ;)

I respect all 'open carry' activists to a high degree.

I'm not one myself, yet....

Will definitely practice what I'm preaching here tho, if need be here at my home.

I say, "so why can't we?" in my Op because in my county, you will be sentenced to 3 years in prison for shooting any firearm even for home defense on your own property.

Well, I just did some digging and could not find any law for the state of California to substantiate my own claim here ^.

Like I said, sometimes I'm stupid, but this insight about being sentenced to 3 years for firing a firearm within your residence for defense purposes did come from a well informed 'open carry' activist here in my county.

He's not a lawyer, so I guess I'm a dumbass for believing this.

Anyone have any foresight on this?
