@Americana - MD Gotta say I agree. Shields are great. I love shields. But they don't look very professional at all.

@The Huwhyte Ulf - VA all I'm saying is a shield won't stop a round from penetrating your torso. And it certainly isn't a good weapon against anything ranged.

It's America in the 21st century can we act like it?

Sure thing. So body armor and concealed carry?

Concealed or open why not?

I thought open carry was being deemed as a no go...

It's obviously a political statement saying we support the right to bear arms(inb4 muh civil liberties) and it's a decent show of force. it's not childish or larpy, and it's totally legal.

I agree with you. I thought one of the admins put out that we shouldn't open carry...trying to find which tag it was under.

It was under announcements.

For my part, lightweight vest under casual, clean clothes. Mouthguard (ask @Havamal I don't leave home without it). That's it. Not there to escalate; there to help my brethren if they're in danger.

I'm glad you said something... mouth guard now in my to get list

Ive got a vest to wear underneath.

mouthguard is prob critical

At. All. Times.

lmao

@Uilliam Cionnaoith - MD We should drill leg kicks before the event.

Tiks

@Havamal We should teach @Uilliam Cionnaoith - MD how to deal with leg kicks lol.

Teeks* However they spelt

There.

Best mouth-guards in the business.

I like my Venom better than my shock doctor.

@Uilliam Cionnaoith - MD lol yeah, that too

Mouth guards lol

Sanctioned fights with antifa only goys!

I'll be checking gloves

This is the way to go with shields to not look larpy

Clear, modern shields would look the best

Was my exact idea

Concealed carry only because open carry is retarded. You will get cracked in the head from behind and they will steal your pistol. Bring your rifle and plates in the car parked nearby, pistol concealed with enough ammo to get to the car if shit really goes down. That's worst case, I doubt antifa will really even do much with the sheer number of people we have.

I don't think antifa wants to really kill us. it's kind of like how the Joker doesn't want to kill Batman. He would have nothing to do if Batman was dead. Antifa only exists because of people like us. If we go, they go.

They aren't going to do anything. Just look at what happened in Austin on may day. They were open carrying and they still got the shit kicked out of them and had all of their stuff stolen. The most they would do is try to stab people but the police and our sheer numbers should deter that

Antifa doesn't attack unless they outnumber at least 3 to 1 and even then they might not

Very true , most of them have never been in an actual fight and don't train at all. It's really not even a fair fight for them unless it's 3 on one.

Since Berkely there haven't really been any major confrontations because they realize that they can't win, especially when there is a police presence

I would like them to underestimate us...

Might be a good idea to get some of these https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01MCYSH6L/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1496859205&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=hickory+stick&dpPl=1&dpID=31V0PJy0msL&ref=plSrch

You can always trim it to make it more concealable

Just get an asp with a holster.
