Many very good photographs in the article at the link.

The fact this was published in the Philadelphia Inquirer is a major disruption in the push for more and more infringements on rights protected by the Second Amendment in Philadelphia.

Philadelphia is the center of anti-Second Amendment political power in Pennsylvania.

Every time there’s another mass shooting, the gun grabbers dig in deeper. But so do gun owners, and the number of gun owners grows. Even liberals are figuring out that some responsibilities fall to the individual, like survival.

Miller, a gun owner, got her license to carry in both Pennsylvania and Delaware during the pandemic. It did little good. Her employer — a major Philadelphia hospital — refuses to allow employees to store weapons at work. “I can’t even protect myself,” she told me.

I’m a judge in One jurisdiction and a prosecutor in another. This is one area in which I firmly believe “you do it anyway”. Protect yourself, because idiotic policies like this do nothing to keep you safe.

First of all, law-abiding citizens have every right to own firearms, regardless of their race, ethnicity, religion, etc. Period. No one should question that.

The appearance of this article in the wildly liberal Philadelphia Inquirer (notice that “Black” is capitalized while “white” is not?) raises my suspicions.

Could this be an attempt, albeit feeble, to evoke hypocritical reactions from white gun owners? If so, it’s not going to work.

I sincerely hope that more gun ownership in places like Philly brings down violent crime, both reinforcing the rationale behind the Second Amendment and exposing the failure of leftist prosecutors and corrupt administrators who hamstring the police.

I enjoy watching Maj Toure’s videos. He uses facts and common sense. He will post video of defensive gun uses and go point by point as to what was done right and what was done wrong. He is a great asset for 2nd Amendment supporters.

However, every time I read an article discussing the “growing ranks of black gun owners”, I sense a bit of panic on the part of the left. It goes against their narrative of instilling fear in black people that all white people, and only white people, want guns just so they can murder minorities. This article isn’t quite bad.
