That's why we haven't seen these cowards in Oklahoma. We are allowed to open carry without a license and can stand our ground here. Just waiting for one of these fucks to try this shit here. They will need to bring body bags.
The only problem with that sort of bravado is that the ICE agents are seldom alone, and it’s a fair bet there are even more waiting as backup in vehicles nearby. If somebody starts shooting at one of them it’s going to stir up a huge hornets nest that will likely result in a significant number of casualties.
Edit: Oh, and ICE has indeed been operating in Oklahoma to some extent since at least April.
and the cops are on ICE's side. so if shooting starts, well....
they wont hit super red areas, it will alienate thier base, and rile them up the gop as well.
Lol might want to put "ice Oklahoma" in a search engine.
Same in Florida but without open carry. It's on the table, but probably won't fly. Who knows. I didn't care until the Gestapo deployed to non-armed cities and states. Now I fucking want it.
They've been in Oklahoma. That being said 11 (?) people just straight attacked ICE in Texas, and I can't imagine that won't start catching on more.
