Five firearm instructors in the Minneapolis area said sign-ups for safety training, which is required for permit holders, have grown in the past two weeks.
At the Stock & Barrel Gun Club’s two locations near Minneapolis, the classes for people seeking a permit to carry a firearm almost always draw large crowds.
“It’s usually in the hundreds,” David Taylor, the club’s CEO, said.
But since immigration enforcement agents flooded the city, sparking clashes in the streets and the killing of two protesters, interest in the classes has only grown. In just the past two weeks, Taylor said, his club has received four times the usual number of sign-ups.
That does not appear to be an anomaly. Five firearm instructors in the Minneapolis area told NBC News they have seen a similar trend. The sudden interest, they say, is a reflection of the fear and uneasiness that has gripped the region amid the ongoing turmoil in the streets.
What we do know is being legally armed and not defending your life ends in summary execution.
The issue is clearly that he didnt pull and shoot when his life was threatened. He might have sent them running and survived, however unlikely.
Thats the stupid game this admin is playing. They want to kill with impunity, and cant stand that people may fire back if they do so, but also cant back down on gun rights because they absolutly will lose their base if they do.
They are now on a very stupid “only cops should have guns and are justified in shooting you if you have a gun near them but also you can have guns and cops cant just shoot you if you have guns near them” tightrope.
