Congratulations to the No Kings protesters! They did it! There are no kings in the US. Trump is still our president.
I had to go out yesterday to sign up at a new range. The new range is nice. But they are a membership club; pay in advance for a year, take an orientation class, provide proof you can pass a background check (a CCW or a recent firearm purchase qualifies), and proof of a safety class.
This was a worrisome trip because I would need to head out near the local college town; I knew the “No Kings” idiots would be out protesting the lack of freedom of speech. And they might have become violent. Best to avoid.
I was able to avoid because the range isn’t near the town. It was good to know that I didn’t have to deal with them.
On the way home, pulling into my local town square, who should be there? Those selfsame people I was trying to avoid.
There were some yelling across the street as there were counterprotesters. I couldn’t tell who were the protesters and who were the counterprotesters. Or maybe it was just poor English on the part of the protesters, making their signs impossible to understand.
The sad part is that this nonsense has made it to my little town. My alert posture just went up a few more notches.
