With all the evil crap happening here and overseas I actually wouldn't be surprised if a citizen led militia took up arms and took to the streets to "clean house". I'd prefer if our government took a more decisive hand in stabilizing things but it looks more and more like it isn't going to happen. That both scares and angers me. Most of the folks I know in person and online are hard working country folks and what I consider the backbone of this nation. To a man/woman they are fed up and over the past decade or so have amassed a considerable amount of arms and ammunition and the training they feel they need to stand up for this great nation on the home front.
I hope it doesn't come to this but every day it seems more plausible. A lot of the people I know that carry have even started to remain armed (concealed) even in places that are currently illegal to do so on the basis that the "bad guys" don't bother following the law anyway. Tomorrow is supposed to be a day of hate towards folks in certain occupations and certain colors of skin and I wrestle with the decision to carry where I know I shouldn't and risk legal ramifications or risk injury/death.
I fear that the path has already been laid and there isn't any sane way of changing course left.
