Reports and rumors that groups bent on rioting and violence in Coeur dAlene brought out men and women with guns on Monday determined to stop them if they arrive.
Dan Carson was patrolling Sherman Avenue with an AR-12 automatic 12-gauge across his chest, an AR-15 strapped to his back, two 9mm handguns holstered and a .38 special, too.
I heard there are some people on the way who shouldnt be here, he said early Monday evening.
Those people, he said, were Antifa and Proud Boys, militant far-left and far-right groups.
Carson said he was in Spokane Sunday night helping protect business there. He said he supports the right to protest and is also upset about the death of George Floyd.
By all means. Im on their side. I disagree with what happened, he said. What I dont agree with is when you turn to violence, and you start rioting and destroying businesses and hurting people who have nothing to do with anything.
Thats what Im here to hopefully prevent, he said, adding, Im not going to be alone. Theres a lot more on the way.
He was right. Soon, more armed men, self-described as a loosely formed group of patriots, arrived. They took up posts at corners on both sides of Sherman Avenue.
Later, they were joined by hundreds of citizens packing rifles, semi-automatic weapons, handguns, and bows and arrows. The sidewalks were packed with people walking up and down Sherman Avenue, firearms proudly displayed for all to see. They carried guns, had them holstered around their hips and had them strapped across their backs.
Men with semi-automatic weapons, handguns say they are here to protect city amid reports of militants heading this way

Wow! I hope we see more of this.
I’ll draw the line at tactical nukes, though.
Is there any info/proof out there that The Proud Boys are “far-right”? I’ve seen video’s of asian members of the Proud Boys.
From my limited knowledge, they seem to be good, law-abiding Constitutional Patriots.
To the press, anybody to the right of Mao and Stalin is far right.
The Rioters
Won’t either!
Both Open Carry since they were founded.
Both have "tourist" areas out in mountains/college areas that are chock full of nuts (including one antifart twitter in Missoula), but even there it's still Armed Society = Polite Society.
(I still chuckle about the school East of us has a sign on the door says "Members of staff are armed for safety"...and the ones don't bother about the silly sign.)
Reminds me,
“OATHKEEPERS”

?????????????
Stand tall, Coeur d’Alene...
Damn, you guys do America proud.
Proud to call you my Countrymen.
Now I know why people like moving to Idaho regardless of the weather. Just like Tenessee.
The weather in ID is very good. Winters arent very harsh and summers are gorgeous. Low humidity, not many bugs, plenty of lakes and mountains. But best of all are the people and sane government.
“Ill draw the line at tactical nukes, though.”
But, of course. We’ll save those for the Grand Finale. ;)
As a resident of CDA, this makes me proud of my fellow citizens.
Don’t say that too loud, we want the California leftists to continue to think the panhandle is the tundra.
Regarding the bugs, we are having a rather large infestation of Carpenter Ants at the moment here in CDA.
Today's it's become one of the most popular states for Californians to move to.
