Just like I don't wish for the zombie apocalypse or other type of societal collapse. I'm not worried so much about me getting caught up in it as I am those I care about.
I'm confident that this is the stance of the majority of the members here. We're ready and willing, but not looking for a fight. As a poor paraphrase of Grossman, one of the biggest assets to an armed community is that those who engage in training for righteous (read self defense and preservation of life, liberty, pursuit of happiness) have a longing to exercise their force in an appropriate manner, but keep the aggression sheathed until necessary. That time may sadly becoming more of a reality.

On the flip side, though use of force may be righteous, just remember that a "booger-eater with an unzeroed AK, who doesn't know the difference between line of sight & line of bore"
has the same ability to kill you as someone who is well trained. Thanks Paul Howe!

Stay sharp!
