    I really gotta arm myself for the eventually of a sheriff disagreeing with me.

      Had the same gut reaction. And I am armed and skilled. FFS, the state is going to arrest me in front of my family for this bullshit?! Hard no. I’ll turn this house into a political SPECTACLE.

        If enough people draw the line, the line will exist. It’s just a hard personal sell and everyone generally will think that others just want them to draw the line and not themselves. Getting large numbers of people to “not let that slide” to discourage something is difficult AF

      I am hoping that this is in the figurative sense. I don’t think that a shootout would have improved her situation.

        It’s not about helping the situation. It’s about drawing a line and making it known that we are not to be abused.
