Shooting barefoot must be some kind of fad there.

They could've been charged with manslaughter if any of the protesters had died laughing.

What pisses me off is that people always use that phrase (the ones who employ it seriously) but miss off the rest of the saying:

A few bad apples spoil the bunch.

If you don't have your AR-15, you won't be able to do like lawyers do. And just as certainly, you won't improve on it either. And your situation will be dreadful if the rioters mostly peacefully kick your door in.

Which didn't happen at the lawyers' house. That's stupid? Or nearer to smart?

There were no rioters near the lawyers house, just demonstrators passing by on the sidewalk on there way to somewhere else. Going out to provoke a confrontation is stupid, especially the wife waving the hand gun.

And a confrontation was precisely the thing they did not provoke: exposed arms are confrontation suppressers. It's definitely under the heading of "confrontation" if there are shots fired, which there were not. I do not recall any shouting being done.

No, I'm more with them -- pieces of work that they are, and not exactly at one with their weapons either -- than against. This time.

Tell that to the armed protester in Austin who was reflexively shot (and killed) in a panic by another armed person who was harassing the protesters. It's ironic, but most Second Amendment nuts always envision themselves as the only armed person. They lionize the "good guy with a gun" and completely forget the inevitable "stupid guy with a gun." And FAR more average people are stupid, as opposed to bad.

First thing they teach in hostage negotiations - always deescalate the situation by carrying a big gun
