It is a downward spiral when everyone shows up strapped. Still when a community is threatened by Fascist Thugs...

This is all going to get worse before it gets better.

This is going to get way more bizarre before it gets better. There has already been at least one incident of them and the LGBTQ+ both showing up armed (there to "protest")

We have pretty much stepped into a William Gibson/Bruce Sterling/Philip K. Dick reality.

If we could just round up some cool people, we'd make it an Elmore Leonard reality.

I hadn't thought of Elmore for quite awhile!

Protecting themselves from physical harm?  Exercising an actual enumerated right as an American?  Good on 'em.  Who knows, protests may become more civil.  Though, would be much better with concealed carry vs grandstanding with ARs .  Keeps everyone guessing. 

Alas, while this squirrel is being chased,  the parasite class has more important issues.

Concealed Carry is perhaps, a bit more Civil. Open Carry seems to be in the school of intimidation, which is uncool in this old Bohemians head...

Open carry is flat insane just from a practical, "How do you tell the good guys from the bad guys?" perspective.  If I hear gunshots, I'm not necessarily going to think, "Oh, the cammo wearing fat guys with the AR-45s are the white hats here.

Like walking around with a big target on one's chest. "Whose First?" Comes to mind.
