I should learn it just in case … but the trainers are probably fascists … but thats exactly why … but what if they will shoot me on sight because im one of those “transgender ideology terrorists”
Hi! Moderate here, I’ve had a lot of interactions with both left and right leaning establishments. The fact if the matter is that money is money. If you pay them to train you then they will. That being said, there isn’t much they’ll teach you that you can’t learn for free. If you plan on carrying a handgun you might have to take a course, but youtube can teach you the same or better info. Shooting is a pretty fun hobby if you can find a cheap range.
There are a lot of SRA (Socialist Rifle Association) chapters that have classes available. Worth it to look up to see if they have instructors or instructors they recommend if nothing else.
If not classes, some homie who’s an ex combat vet who’s not certified because they don’t want to give the feds or the NRA any money.
I’ve paid the fascists for their classes and its nothing special. I can save you a Sunday and several Friday afternoons and at least $300 in training with these blog posts I wrote.
There are some very accepting organizations dedicated to teaching self and community defense. One such example, but I’m sure there are others: https://socialistra.org/about/
So maybe don’t go in with a battle jacket with every flag patch on it, just like dress how you would for work and just sign up for the course. A real 2a advocate might think you’re going to hell, but they absolutely believe in your right to defend yourself on this earth with a gun. And you should learn, even if you decide not to daily carry, knowledge is still power. A gun is a force multiplier that can absolutely change the outcome of a situation in which your survival is at stake. That, and shooting is fun, pistols, rifles and shotguns all.
So aside from the absolute bullshit that is ‘hide who you are for stupid fuckers’ being a terrible way to live your life, my mind immediately jumps to a person’s voice, which can’t be masked on the fly, so that plan is going to fall apart a few seconds after they walk in the door, unless they have gone through extensive voice retraining…
But circling back around, absolutely fuck hiding elements of yourself just because others are dumbasses. If we all did that, think of the dumbest motherfucker you have seen in Walmart, then give them all the power and respect by not engaging and rolling over like a bitch.
I never suggested you hide a thing. If you absolutely must wear all of your regalia every single place you go then you’ll just have to work a little bit harder to find a more inclusive place. They are out there. And I am still saying that it is worth it to learn to operate a firearm for all the reasons. This is no time to be unarmed, be you trans, queer, leftist, brown or all of the above.
There is “not hiding who you are” and “not putting yourself in danger for no good reason”. If you think you are really unsafe around some people, don’t provoke them just for the sake of being a martyr. I think self preservation comes first here.

I’m sorry, but shooting up a school or a church does not qualify as reasonable self-defense
Good thing nobody except you mentioned doing so.

You know what they say . . . It’s all fun and games until a kindergarten gets shot.
Then it’s a party.
