Like they are starting to now

Exactly

We are certainly winning in that aspect

No love for the freikorps??

A few of us have these armbands and are painting it on our shields and helmets

@Stannisthemannis That's awesome

Shields ready

@Stannisthemannis those seem short

2' x 2'

Thigh to neck dude.

Depends on how you intend to use it... many different shield types throughout history

And when crouched it covers about that

See Saxon shields from Hastings for example, thry were about this size and thry were famous for shield walls

you get more mobility with that type, but my understanding is we are looking for a more defensive posture, so a roman style shield is probably better suited.

There is a reason armies evolved from those to smaller shields too

yeah its about mobility, and fatigue over long marches

On a hot sunny humid Virginia afternoon...

luckily we wont be moving anywhere

Hopefully

I also quick detach straps so if antifa grab it to pull me into them I can detach it quickly to avoid being sucked in

Added*

thats a good idea

do you have a kevlar?

I do

Also have soft body armor but won't be bringing it. Might see about getting some steel plates for a PC for the stab protection

Yeah I have been debating on wearing a PC, but there is coming really confrontational about it

I'm more worried about knives and tazers than firearms

hopefully the cops will do their jobs

and we wont have to worry about it

I think they will

Rural VA cops are our people

They hate the left as much as we do

we arent in rural va though

But the VSP recruits from there

yeah hopefully the VSP shows up in force.

They Btfo'd antifa few weeks ago

well yeah, antifa was messing with their guys

They will again...

the klan is so full of feds its not even funny

@Stannisthemannis

Here is my plate carrier. In addition to the plates I have purchased some sheet metal heavy enough to withstand puncture from a switchblade or screwdriver and patted it with half of a package of eight and a half by eleven paper. You cannot drive an ice pick through it by hand

@greg-ky that AR500 armor?
