Trump’s secret, armed, army
The Washington Times ^ | November 3, 2016 | Tom Gresham

Swing states Florida, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Virginia, North Carolina, Florida have high rates of gun ownership. They have hundreds of thousands, or in the case of Florida, more than a million, people with carry permits.

Emails and vulgar language pale in significance to the prospect of keeping one’s family safe. These are the millions of voters who may well have been ignored by pollsters who haven’t seen the wave of “guntry clubs” being built, the families shooting together, the women taking advanced classes in personal protection and gun fighting.

These are the men and women of Donald Trump’s silent, armed, army. They will vote. They will act to retain control of their own safety.

I have been saying much the same. In Wisconsin, People with concealed carry permits are likely as much as 15% of voters.

But they are people who are civic minded. How much different they will vote in this race is unclear.

In previous races, where gun control has been a factor, the gun side has won big.

I’m in South Carolina and was at a public range last Sunday morning in the Francis Marion State Park, around 7:00 AM...

It was packed and I had to wait for a bench which has never happened to me before that early in the morning. Asked the old guy in front of me in line if I could share the next available spot with him and we did.

He had a brand new S&W 15-22 he was sighting in and an M&P Shield in 9mm. When we left after 90 mins the range was busier than I’ve ever seen it before. I also noticed some graffiti, somebody has written, ‘Hillary for Prison’ on the woodwork...lol

“In Wisconsin, People with concealed carry permits are likely as much as 15% of voters.”.........

Your estimate is way, way too low. I know numerous people who have CC permits and DO CARRY, many of those are my neighbors. Wisconsin has an “army” of over 400 thousand gun owners and many of those have more than one gun. I guess technically you could call Wisconsin gun owners and “army”.

I hope you urged that man to get a trigger job on the Shield. Hated mine until I did so - now it’s my daily carry choice!

The scale of the clinton cancer is overwhelming to unorganized mob that carries but will not shoot.

The article is a pipe dream

One other consideration. The people I know who carry, or even just own firearms ... We don’t respond to polls. We are no doubt virtually unsampled in polling data. But when we vote...

That's why adults prefer Sig Sauer firearms.

"I guess technically you could call Wisconsin gun owners and “army”."

Correct technical term is "the militia".

For an IWB concealed carry it’s a fantastic handgun, I am old school and prefer outside the waistband with an untucked shirt or jacket and an HK VP9...

The British had a short lived Fairly Secret Army to rescue England when the time came.

Sadly it was cancelled.

Good job, my UPS delivery guy hates me because apparently 2,000 rounds of 9mm ammo weighs 52lbs and I’m on the third floor...lol

“We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded. “ - Barack Hussein Obama 2008

Seems we have one. Not as The One intended, though.

Nice - They have a heck of a time getting you out of there having to come up the stairs. You can create a body baricade.
