Since Trump’s election, gun groups catering to progressives and people of color report a surge in interest as they look to defend themselves in a country that, to them, feels increasingly unstable.

    I’ve bought some snap caps (dummy rounds) so that I can practice draw, rack, aim, trigger in the house. (They don’t let you draw at the range.)

    … how to react in a situation where people are killing each other or might start killing each other.

    Yeah, I don’t have an answer for that one. Most people probably don’t. My logic for getting a gun was “If you find yourself in a situation where you wish you had a gun, it’s too late.” I have no expectation that I’ll need a gun anytime very soon, although the wind can change direction in a hurry. But I do have an expectation that I’ll need a gun eventually, and if that’s true, I should have one now so that I can practice with it.

      Yeah, I feel you on that. You’re not wrong.
