Here's a C&P from my local AzCDL page. AZCDL is like a RMGO. ONLY without the non-stop emails and THE SKY'S FALLING rhetoric. The only time i get emails is when a bill is made public. OR they raffle off a gun.






I would like to let everyone know that after last nights protest riot/ shooting here in AZ that I am safe. I was caught in this riot when I was working my night shift at the restaurant here in Scottsdale AZ when the rioters started spreading out from Phoenix to downtown Scottsdale.
I was outside during my smoke break when all the sudden the tear gas canisters were fired from the police and several police choppers with their lights on. I went back inside the restaurant to let my co workers and executive chef and restaurant owner.
We had to quickly evacuate the restaurant as the crowds were soon spilling towards our restaurant. I was then given the ok to bring my gun and have it on me. Thankfully the owner and pretty much everyone at work is pro gun and 4 other co workers of mine were also armed with handguns and rifles and I was
2 of the workers who carries around body armor protection nearby.

I was asked if I would escort the female workers to their cars as they knew I’m always armed. As the restaurant was closing up rapidly I stood outside to guard the place which I voluntarily did. Last night was one of the most tense times in my life where I had to prepare for unexpected violence.

In the past I’ve faced many dangerous situations from being held hostage at knifepoint as a kid during a violent home invasion to other encounters where I had to draw my firearm and tonight was the first time I had to deal with a large crowd of violent people.
I am grateful to have survived last nights chaotic ordeal as well as all the training I’ve received to handle worse case scenarios such as this.
Last night was also the first time I ever utilized my backpack body armor vest and the other tactical gear I always have on me.
Thankful to God that last night I did not have to fire any shots in defense and I could go home safely.
Would like to thank the members of both Phoenix and Scottsdale police department as they were stationed just outside the restaurant parking lot. I firmly believe in our constitutional rights of freedom of speech and the right to assemble and protest but please do so peacefully without violence. Once violence and looting become involved your cause and voice loses credibility.
