This isn’t an internet tough guy post. This isn’t me flexing about my love of the 2nd Amendment and practice thereof. This isn’t about how well I can shoot, or what kind of guns I own. This is a legitimate warning about what will happen. Riots are popping up in cities over the murder of George Floyd, completely overshadowing the legitimate protests containing peaceful people making a valid point. Some of these rioters, namely those belonging to the group “Antifa,” have mentioned that they’re going to leave the cities and move their destruction and violence into the suburbs.

Note to the antifa thugs - my premises is well protected by Smith & Wesson. You won't make it two steps inside my house.

Can you run faster than 3,200 feet per second? If not...you are warned to stay out of my neighborhood! Even our Glocks shoot at 950 feet per second with a big .45 ACP! Your bricks and molotov cocktails will not be tolerated at any level!

One in each room away from the windows. Don't bother with the cell phone as there aren't enough LEOs to protect us all.

No jury of my peers is going to convict me for shooting anyone with a Molotov cocktail and bricks, coming up to my front door. Even so, I’d do it anyway.

I like a post on Facebook from a gun owner that said something like "Before you enter my house get right with Jesus because you're about to meet him."

Power to you, Mister. Power to the people that are ready and locking and loading.
BUT, don't forget the houses, homes, apartments filled with people like my family. We can't own a gun (we're too old and sick) and are alone and live with our beloved pet. Are neighbors with guns going to save us? (Who are those neighbors, anyway? We dunno. - How many neighbors even know their neighbors by sight anymore?
By the time they've finished their test run in the cities, - they're already successfully blocking highways, etc., they may be ready to exact a lot more personal fun: like the young man murdered, the elderly woman beaten to a pulp, the child left in the house they set fire to.
Do you think, by the way, that Antifa folks are hanging out with their AM coffee and bongs and reading your column?
Who will help us? The fiercest of the survivalists even swear to SHOOT their neighbor if they come banging on their doors for help.
We pray everyone is going to see "the big picture" more clearly: the bigger picture.

The Sheriff of Polk County Florida has thrown down the gauntlet to other Sheriffs (most in Florida are already on board.) Sheriffs of other states, who have been afraid to take a stand, can now follow along.

Cripes #2. a .243 Winchester?
Yes they have come to the suburbs, about a mile to the south of me two miles to the north and a tad further away east and west of me. So far the suburban incursion has targeted shopping malls and other stores. I know of no residential area attacks. That's where the game changes rapidly. Even my small town downtown would be dicey compared to malls and strip malls on major roads. When I was growing up we had a predominantly volunteer police force. With rare exception the dads were WWII and Korean war era veterans and if trouble came to town essentially the old school, what would have once been called the militia would answer the call.
Now when we need that we have a full time police force which could easily be overrun and no mechanism to integrate those in the community with the will and means to assist.
It would still be dicey compared to the malls and strip malls but nothing like the massacre they would have faced fifty years ago.

We are a Stand your ground law and Castle doctrine state. We know the law is on our side here. We will not hesitate to protect our near and dear. And this momma bear is a good shot.

Wonder what would happen if one of these chunks of trash tried to throw a flaming bottle at your home from the street. Would you be justified shooting him and letting him catch fire? I believe so, and that is my opinion. These people have no clue, having never been to the real world known as suburbia.

What really changes the resistance game now (and it is a game so far) is the formal designation of Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization. The legalities of taking certain measures against them change. In effect they're "unlawful combatants" now. When they post directions on social media of intended dates, times, and targets and then show up in identifiable numbers in their typical identifiable "uniforms" (black clothing, masks, various hand weapons), they now are fair game for capture, detention, and even worse. Their cover is gone. Welcome to the burbs.
The only thing that could make this better would be to put a bounty on them. That would not only solve the looting but would also be a great "stimulus" package to recover lost revenue. You'd never even need the military to come in.

Not sure about how many sheepdogs are in the neighborhood right now, but this is life and death now. Even if some of the mob thinks it is edgier paintball. Once it starts it will be too late for some.

Used to keep just a couple of handguns loaded and ready in the home. A shotgun has been added for effect!

well written, well said, rational and calm.
i am a gun owner, and hope never to use my guns on anything other than deer, bear, or, God willing, a Pennsylvania Elk (if I win the drawing for an Elk permit.)
but i will take the necessary action to protect my family, here in suburbia.

Burned into my brain is the video of thugs beating a defenseless woman shop owner w/ a ladder and 2X4 while a thug swinging a 2X4 kept her desperate husband at bay. He came back at them repeatedly brandishing a golf club ineffectively beseeching them to "leave my wife alone". That's become my Alamo rally cry in response to Antifa threats.

We live in the country, but we are surrounded by neighbors; many of them hunters. We only have handguns, but my neighbors have some pretty heavy artillery. I’ve heard it when they target shoot. I sleep better at night knowing that.

I know very little about guns but I do own a shotgun. Do you think I will sit passively back and watch me and mine get hurt? Not on YOUR life Antifa!

Ditto. Most of us will reluctantly shoot you at the first aggressive move. Some of us less reluctantly than others.

They have to know that George Floyd, the man they profess to honor (what rubbish), spent five years in prison for having committed home invasion robbery. George was just one of the boys...

I'm 76 and the only gun I have owned is a BB gun, many decades ago. I am beginning to run scared because of these feral thugs. I may now but a gun.

FTA:
"Suburbanites have a lot more to lose and are going to be a lot more apt to go to extremes to make sure no harm befalls what they’re protecting. Too much rides on it. In the city, you were the pack of lions seeking whom you may devour. In the burbs, you’re the gazelle."
If they come to residential areas looking for trouble, many gazelles will die.

It seems to me that whole yard thing should be obsolete in these days and times. And if the majority of folks start stopping them in the yards, there's only so many law enforcement people to arrest a majority. I say don't even get to the yard. I have a small front and back yard; too close. Did they say they're coming to the white hoods or With their white hoods?

My state, Georgia, has both a castle law and a stand your ground law. If someone comes in your yard throwing bricks or Molotov cocktails then your life is considered in danger and it's now open season, no license required. Just make sure of who or what is in the background before you shoot. As other posters have said, we hope that we never have to shoot anyone but threaten my family and you will get the unpleasant effects of my shotgun, the AR-15 or the .38 special

I was at the range today sighting in my recently acquired M1 carbine. A handy little gun for this kind of situation. I probably will stick with an AR if push comes to shove, but this one will now be ready to hit where it looks if the time comes to use it.
They REALLY don't want to try this. It would be a really serious error on their part.

#8, if you were in my neighborhood, I will gladly come to protect you and your pet, and proud to do it. I am sure that there a millions more like me with the same outlook. Defend family, friends, neighbors, our city, if need be.
Hoping for peace and quiet, but willing to protect our loved ones and our neighborhood, with force, if that becomes necessary. I really hope it doesn't get there......but the military has a phrase when they are planning, "Remember, the enemy gets a vote, too." So, just because I do not want to have violence, I may not have the only vote on the matter when it comes down to it.

In the end you are the militia. Only you can be relied upon to protect your family and of course your faithful family German shepherd. I don't think the thugs will commit themselves to the suburbs, too many wannabe snipers with scoped ARs who will target anyone with a lit Molotov cocktail in their hand. Mr. Morse is right, the predators become the prey.
