During the Zapatistas revolt in Mexico (which, incidentally, was successful), many Mayan women who would not shoot a gun instead carried dummy rifles, essentially just wood carved like an AK47.
You can’t carry a gun, certainly, but you can be a combatant, you can make the enemy afraid, you can draw fire, you can shame the enemy for their cowardice and make them afraid of your bravery and willingness to die for a cause. I am a pacifist, but I will still die alongside my comrades if it comes to that. Maybe get some bulletproof shields.
The state doesn’t have to know. Either you never need it and nothing changes, or you actually have to use it, and you’re at least alive to handle whatever bullshit comes next.
If you’re going to carry, ghost or registered, I STRONGLY recommend taking a basic gun safety and concealed carry course first.
Ah - yeah that went completely over my head. My bad!!
@oxysis@lemmy.blahaj.zone - Ma’am, I can be a dumbass sometimes. Please do whatever you need to do to take care of yourself, to include NOT arming yourself if that would put you at risk. No hostility intended. Except to the fucking Nazis that are infesting humanity right now - they can go eat lead.
I wish I could but I know what would happen if I did

Good luck either way!
Do you know the song Chop Suey, by System of a Down?
Do you know the original name of that song, before the record company forced them to change it?
That’s what she’s referring to, I think.
