  • Gene Sharp has a lot of great points. I also recommend his book The Politics of Nonviolent Action which has a lot more detail.

    However, in the end I asked myself what would Picard (of Star Trek) do and I realized he would be armed and capable and use violent resistance as a last resort.

    So I bought a Mossberg 500 and am training with it once a week. I even feild strip it and put it back together. I also started training in Brazilian jiu jitsu which is a pretty fun way to get into shape. I am getting good at grappling and choking big guys out. I’m also learning a bunch about radio.

    Another book I recommend is Full Spectrum Resistance which has examples of why it helps to have both nonviolent and violent resistance.

    So if you don’t feel right with a gun, I think that’s ok. As long as we are doing something productive while we can. And it doesn’t hurt to level up some skills that you can use to help your community if the unthinkable does happen.
