Resist: It's Time

We are still in this together, but "this" is going to be real different in the very near future. This demands a different kind of "we."

The French Resistance during Nazi occupation played important roles delivering downed Allied airmen back to safety, supplying military intelligence, and acts of sabotage.

The Underground Railroad is estimated to have brought 100,000 freedom seekers to safety between 1810 and 1850.

It's time.

.50 caliber air guns don't require a background check or a waiting period. (www.umarexusa.com)

Adding less-than-lethal alternatives:

A magazine-fed (for reliability) paintball gun can be loaded with pepper spray and hard plastic rounds. An example of a good value is the Tippman Stormer at $125. This should be paired with a 90g CO2 cartridge because a 12g won't even allow one full mag dump. It's also nice, but certainly not required, to have a HPA tank for practice.

Bear mace because its got the best range. If using it always expect to also mace yourself. All gel-based mace sucks: You won't mace yourself with gel but also won't disable the attacker.

Notes (compliments, not substitutes):

Firearm safety, especially pistols, can be learned and practiced with an airsoft replica. Many have the exact weight and function of a real firearm as well as roughly a third of the recoil of a typical 9mm.

Blinding the attacker with a very bright light severely reduces their ability to effectively attack.

Deafening the attacker with an air horn or siren is a very effective deterrent for all mammals, including humans.

Editorial:

The Socialist Rife Association exists.

Learn your local laws pertaining to "stand your ground" and the "castle doctrine".

Practice your home intrusion drill regularly so that it's automatic. You don't want to be wasting time thinking about how to go about it, then doubting your choices. Time is life.

I recommend having both lethal and a less than lethal choices available.

Edit: pretty sure I'm shadowbanned because a mod is power tripping. Any response to this post would be appreciated such that I know if I'm wasting my time contributing here.
