I noticed in the news this morning....one of these protest events....in Louisville, Kentucky, resulted in some BLM armed militia group making a 'show'.
The thing about the past BLM armed militia 'shows'....they seem to be dressed up for the occasion (cammo gear), and look remarkably 'fake' (like actors).
From this event in Louisville, an interesting thing happen. Somewhere in the handling of the weapons, one of the guys had the weapon of 'fire' instead of 'safety'. The weapon went off....couple of rounds...wounding three of his associates.
The comment by militia head guy? "Things like this happen".
In general, you have to rely on folks around handling their weapon properly. So the bothersome piece of this event is that you get the impression that some of these folks have never held a gun in their life, and never received true gun safety classes in their life. Yet here they are.....some might be true militia folks.....some might be actors for the day and holding guns.
So this brings me to the Barney-moment. Andy allows took away all of Barney's bullets, giving one single bullet for his pocket. It was good gun-safety that Andy applied. I look at the militia folks and think they might want to go the same way. Hand an empty clip to the guy to parade around in, and then hand him a filled clip for his pocket (should it be required).
The three wounded folks? No one says much, but I would imagine that their wives are asking some serious questions about where they were, and what they were doing yesterday.
I use to do a fair amount of reenacting Rev War and Civil war. The first thing that was done every time was a weapons check. Nothing loaded was allowed. And even then mistakes were made and people were wounded. I can just imagine what a nightmare this group would posse.
