I teach the State Concealed Carry class as well as all the NRA basic and advanced pistol classes. Today I received a call from a person who prefaced their call by saying "With what is happening in Washington DC yesterday and today" - and went on to inquire about obtaining their carry permit and becoming proficient with a handgun.

The caller was especially troubled by the perceived breakdown in order during the Kavanaugh hearings and the methods the protesters used.

He signed up and signed up his spouse to take a couple pistol classes. They were on their way to the gun store and asked what I would recommend they purchase.

A real eye opener of a call!

I agree. While there was a lot or rudeness, I saw nothing in the hearings that would make me rush out and take gun training. Much, much worse has taken place that what was on display yesterday.

I dunno. We are nearing a boiling point. The left is on the march. If they don’t get what they want I am concerned. Conversely if there is a coup takedown of the President by Meuller, I am equally concerned where we are headed.

I don't worry much about the left. Yesterday, while rude wasn't violent.

It's a shame Trump and his minions have framed Mueller as a coup. He may have the ability to make real charges and which may ultimately cause the removal of Trump. Then again, it may be nothing more than a coup. But we've been conditioned to think it's a coup whether it's legitimate or not.

I can’t understand why anyone did not already prepare long before now.

The Kenyaneisan Usurpation should have been a clue how much trouble we are in.

We should all be concerned over that scenario.
The left is rabid in their determination to do just what you posted at all costs.

Civil War isn’t just a remote possibility any more. This could be total chaos by the end of the year.

Take their money. Teach the class.

People who are reactive like this will go out and spend $500 on a firearm. And they will never shoot it again.

But, you will have their money, and there will be one more gun to confiscate before mine.

“Then again it may be nothing more than a coup.” I’m astounded that I read that sentence posted to FR. Am I misunderstanding the comment?

“Civil War isn’t just a remote possibility any more. This could be total chaos by the end of the year.”

I think it was Shelby Foote who related a quote from the first Civil War of a Confederate being asked by a Union soldier, “Why are you fighting us, Reb?” to which the Reb replied, “Because you’re down here”.

Virtually all of the left’s protests and outbursts are in urban cores. The rural areas are not infested with the disease of in-your-face liberalism. A war won’t happen until there’s a split in the military.

Until then it’s just localized bad behavior broadcast instantly to the Nation and more than half of those don’t even watch it.

That’s a very good point. In the abstract, a special counsel investigation is a legal exercise, as is the impeachment process.

A coup is an extra-legal process, usually a group of opposition politicians operating in concert with the military leadership to physically oust a king or ruler.

To conflate the two intentionally in order to foment reactionary responses is dangerous territory for anyone to be in.

Must be younger than sixty

This looks exactly like the crap that SDS and Bill Ayers and all the other lefty protestors pulled. This is what was done to Bork as well as Thomas

The left never changed. Pay attention the democrat wing of CPUSA hates the American people

Sounds like someone just got red pilled. Train them up, the good guys are always looking to embrace the politically awake among us.

"It's a shame Trump and his minions have framed Mueller as a coup."

You forgot your "sarc' tag - or could have given us a "barf alert"....

"Am I misunderstanding the comment?"

Sadly, no.
Seems like "joebucks" may be one of Jonah Goldberg's stealth monikers....

Not a coup in the traditional sense. But if you listen, watch or read many from the right you hear coup meaning the Mueller investigation. For example, Limbaugh has said the Mueller investigation is a silent coup to remove the President.

No barf alert for something true.
