Blacks Getting Armed!
26th July 2022
Here in Baltimore, I belong to (and attend) a very nice range. When they opened, the clientele was maybe 30% black. From Covid until this spring, it grew to perhaps 60% black.
But now, after the Supreme Court ruling? The place is packed, and packed with black people getting trained so they can carry legally, and protect themselves, their loved ones, and their property. Last night, staff excepting, #5 and I were the only white faces there. Fantastic!
Well, actually, blacks are already armed (see the crime statistics in New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles), but now they can do so legally.
A totally uncovered story is the extent to which 2nd Amendment rights were a factor in allowing black people under Jim Crow laws to defend themselves against, say, the Ku Klux Klan.
