Sounds like a lovely group of people that have some great stories to tell.

(Now I want an AR-9 with a pride flag.)

Theres a surprisingly large "WoKe" market for firearms and accessories. I'm all for it. And armed minority is harder to oppress. It's the reason why cops don't break up MAGAt protests like they do with others (that and they wouldn't want to potentially hurt your fellow officers).

100% they were the best collection of men and women I've ever met. Very "gay neighbors protect their weed plants with guns" type people for the most part.

Given my upbringing in deep red country, it's still a bit weird (as in "I'm not used to seeing this", not "ew gross") to see gay couples arming up and being affectionate. Bet you've never seen a blue-haired NB with a rifle slung over one shoulder kissing their rainbow-clad girlfriend (also with a rifle and sidearm)before.

There were two trans women who joined, and they LOVED it when the rebublicunts called them female-gendered slurs. I mean, I'm not a fan of calling women gendered slurs, but I can see why they might take a little satisfaction in it. You wouldn't know anything was different about them unless they told you, and of course that just can't compute to a right-wing cultists.

Sorry I'm rambling, I'm enjoying a smoke on my day off and I don't get to talk about them often. Great group, but we just didn't really keep in touch as we moved away.

Honestly next time I'm in town, I may drive by to see if they're there, and ask if they'd be okay with me getting a picture with faces blocked out
