Shooting in Red River, NM

[dennishoddy]

3 dead, 5 injured. Not a lot of details out there yet.
We made the rally four or so years ago. Never felt like we were in any danger. There were cops on every street corner.

The wife and I like to go to this one rally because
we like the scenery in N.M.

I was in RR about 100’ from where it happened. Was so many people I didn’t see much but heard lots of gun shots. Seen a lot of the aftermath of a couple guys be loaded into ambulances. Really surprised only MC members were shot. I don’t think it’s going to be good for anyone on a motorcycle this summer after seeing the police press conference. They mentioned OKC, Texas and other areas.

I really hate to say it but a high percentage of the time you might need a gun you usually put yourself into a higher risk situation like a bar, a bad area of town, or a biker ralley. Just sayin.

Weird how that works, but yeah.

That statement right there ought to be "isolated" and put on OSA as a "Sticky."

Everyone talks about how "unsafe" they feel without their favorite firearm. I have a CC permit but have rarely carried, mainly because I stay away from "sketchy" places.

I totally agree, situational awareness is your best defense. If you feel uncomfortable about your surroundings it's time to leave.

My previous post was mostly sarcasm, I have never felt unsafe in RR or many places that I venture. But I had one thing driven into my head by a firearms instructor years ago and still live by. A handgun is only to defend yourself till you get to a bigger gun (long gun).

2 times I need a gun, just after getting home from work and the gas station. Neither places I’d consider sketchy.
