I've owned a handgun for years, but the riots have convinced me I need a shotgun as well.

Ditto. Any recommendations out there?

I have a feeling that this is prescient. Just as the gentleman had to use his gun against a skateboard and a knife(?), there will be more of this one off defenses as more people start packing.

I know that the leftists have guns and the desire to do harm, but as more and more people are seeing the light, just like the author of the article, the price for this kind of attack will rise.

The flash point will be when they start showing up at the residences of the “doxed” targets and fire bombing houses at night, under the cover of darkness. Then the ugly gets going.

Additionally, all of these mob attacks are at very close range, and I want something really comfortable in my hand when it occurs. And usually, after the first shot, most of the mob starts running, especially the more “tribal” in nature mobs.

There’s nothing like having a gun when you need a gun.

Gun are selling like hot cakes!!! Went for some ammo at academy the other day...shelves are empty but for a few items. Asked the clerk what’s going on he told us as soon as their merchandise arrives it’s snatched up quickly! I was the 6th person in line at the gun counter looking for an item! People are scared and buying guns! The shooting ranges are always packed too!

While a 45 would be surer if protecting you, a 9 is a million times better than nothing. A million times. Congratulations! ( just be ready to use multiple shots if the first one doesn’t stop your assailant)

Detroit’s GREAT Chief of Police told the citizens to arm up. We can’t protect you in all situations.

HOORAY Chief Craig, mayor Mike Duggan, Prosecutor Kym Worthy and Detroit citizens!!! Lots of GREAT Americans in Detroit.

Imo, tigers don’t change their stripes.

As soon as the pressure’s off, they revert right back to their default settings.

And he’d better do a major rethink about stashing it under the car seat. Ultra bad move.

When I drive, I have a 357 Magnum sitting on my console, covered by a small towel, but very "gettable".

My other one is either 38 snubby or a 9mm that I use as a ball warmer, also very "gettable".

The only thing under my seat is a hatchet, a machete and a rubber hammer in case I need to go medieval and "bash and slash".

I am against violence, except in the case of self defense, in which case, barbarian is my model.
