The way you achieve more is typically showing up at your local Democratic Club meetings or county party meetings.

Under Louisiana’s 2024 CAMRA law, community groups now fear they could face fines of up to $32,500 per day – or even $1 million for ‘intentional’ violations – for talking publicly about evidence of airborne pollution, except under a narrow set of circumstances.

TL;DR; there's still one dam, and it has a fish ladder, but it turns out fish can't actually use the fish ladder on it.

They do. Slowly, imperfectly, and some of the time.

It's worth doing in parallel with other efforts.

Good luck once locked up without the right to an attorney

The problem is that you're probably not lying in wait with a mythical concealed-carry shotgun. Realistic sequences that have happened in the recent past:

  • A couple guys wearing utility company uniforms ask to step inside to diagnose a problem. They then jump you and arrest you.
  • Your camera system stops working due to jamming. Then 15 armed men break through your door and surprise you while you're asleep in bed.
  • Several people in the crowd at your kid's graduation ceremony suddenly surround you and zip-tie your wrists before you realize what's going on.

You're going to be dealing with a situation where you don't see in advance what's happening, and where you're confronted with a whole batch of people who are heavily armed and wearing body armor. That's a situation where one individual acting alone is very unlikely to succeed in killing an assailant with a gun.

They're wearing body armor. Dude with a concealed gun likely ends up dead, and ICE gets no charges because they were afraid.
