Wear ANSI impact rated airsoft goggles over the pool goggles to protect from rubber bullets.
A hard hat with ANSI impact rated face shield attached is also viable and allows a respirator. Make sure to use a chin strap with the hard hat.
If a gas grenade lands near you, cover it with a traffic cone and pour water down the hole on top. Do NOT try to pick it up unless you’re wearing an oven mit or silicone grill glove. Kicking it is fine though.
P100 works on particulates only. To protect from tear gas, you’ll need carbon / charcoal, gas filters. Look for painting filters.
Some P100 filters also have gas filters. Make sure you know what you have before you rely on it.
A 50/50 mix of Maalox antacid and saline also does well
Remove the magazine (or cartridges)
Open the action and confirm no cartridge is present
The exact steps will depend on the action (pump, bolt, break, semi-auto, etc.) and the particular model of firearm, but it’s essentially the loading process performed in reverse
Thieves love those. Just by looking at it, you know there’s a gun in there. They’re light and small enough you can pick up and steal the whole thing, no problem. Then, you can smash it open when you get somewhere else with no tools required. If you spike it like a football with both hands onto concrete and concentrate the force onto one of the lid’s corners, it’ll pop right open after a few tries. Most of the hinges can also be easily attacked if you have some basic tools and need to be quiet.
So just leave it there for some kid to find?
YSK if ICE thinks you’re too brown, they’ll just say yours is fake and deport you anyway. It’s already happened to US citizens.
Too conspicuous? The idea is to let them know we’re here, we’re pissed off, and we’re prepared to fight for what we demand. Why are you trying to go unnoticed in what’s supposed to be an overt display of unity?
If you have the gear to withstand their tools, you should be obvious about it. You’ll become a target and draw their fire away from those who are more vulnerable. If you’re not willing to take a hit, give your gear to someone who is, take your signal whistle, position yourself at the back of the crowd, and keep watch for flankers.
