Isn’t it pretty suicidal to plan violent (counter) protests in a concealed carry state?
Arizona is an OPEN carry state as well as a state wherein you can carry concealed without permission from the state. Is not unusual to see open carry in Walmart and other places in nearby Sierra Vista. We carry every day on the ranch just in case a rattler is in the chicken coop, coyotes or javelina get too close to the dogs or the illegals drop by for food or water (number of illegals way down over past year). Carry is no big deal out here. One of the many reasons why we live on the ranch.
That’s what I was thinking. Here in Utah, the post-election anti-Trump protests were always confined to a few square blocks in downtown Salt Lake City. They knew that if they took their protests into the surrounding neighborhoods or anywhere else in the state, they’d get their asses kicked all over the place.
In Utah, officially 43% of all households own guns. I have no idea where they got that statistic, I’d say it’s more like 80%. At my work, it would be a real effort to find a non-gun-owner. Around here, the little protesters talk and that’s it. I notice that they haven’t resorted to blocking freeway traffic, either. That would be another suicide mission.
