Asian Americans are flocking to gun stores to arm themselves for self-defense amid the rise in anti-Asian hate crimes.
Forbes spoke to Jimmy Gong, owner of Jimmy’s Sport Shop in Mineola, New York, and he said, “There are more Asians being introduced to firearms. Before, there was never gun culture in the Asian community. But after the pandemic and all the hate crime going on, there are more Asians buying guns to defend themselves.”
Gong noted his business doubled during the era of coronavirus, and half of his customer base is comprised of Asian Americans.

Since those living in minority areas of our big cities already have availed themselves of their gun rights, others of us better hurry up. It's either that or walling off the city ghettoes as in Escape from NY.

Anybody bother to ask them who they are protecting themselves against?

Yep. The fact that the perpetrators of violence against Asians were not named makes it plain who they are! They aren't conservatives!

Good for them. Soon enough the Demorat globalists will be working hard to try to disarm us.

The only shops not burnt down or looted during the Rodney King riots were the Korean shop owners who, they and their buddies, were armed to the teeth and weren't frontin' no games.

It's not just Asian Americans arming themselves. Once the firearm is bought, try finding ammo for it.

Welcome Asian friends, to the ranks of the Insurrectionists. The democrats are going to pee their pants when they get a hint of what attacking our gun rights brings down on them.

Asian-Americans know who is assaulting and killing them almost all the time in the big Democrat run cities, and no matter the fraudulent reports and statements that the leftist and liberal Democrats are trying to put out, the statistics clearly show that the perpetrators are just about all violent criminal members of big minority groups greatly favored these days by the Democrats, who are not and never have been Trump supporters.
The Democrats fraudulently claiming for political purposes that Trump has caused Asian hate crimes by pointing out that the genesis of the COVID-19 virus was Wuhan, China to the American people, with the Chinese Communists clearly lying about that to the world. The Democrat claim that Trump pointing out the place and country where the virus originated is racist hate speech is simply political baloney. That’s like claiming that when the Communist Chinese get ready to invade Taiwan that it would be racist if the American President pointed out to the American people that China is the aggressor in such a major conflict. The Democrats would be pleased as punch to turn the USA into such a silly country. The USA is just lucky that it has been protected on both sides by great oceans, or the USA would already been taken over by foreign advisories with a lot of help from enemies within. Now Biden is supporting a silent invasion by tens of millions of illegal aliens to destabilize the country and the Democrats saying that over 80 million Americans voted for that by electing Biden.

Welcome. I am always glad to see men of good will armed.
Yes, ammunition is a problem. Maybe a friend who stockpiles can fix you up with minimal amounts until the shortage ends. It can be found, but it aint cheap. I was just offered 1000 rounds of .223 for $1000. I passed. I have plenty and wont pay that if the need isn't critical.

The left shoots themselves in the foot again, trying to hype those killings as racism. They never learn.

Re #13. I am also waiting for the ammo supply to catch up with demand but I have plenty for now. I have cut down my range time, however. I don't want to burn through it before I can get more.

Re the ammo shortage. Out of other options here in SoCal, I went to the only remaining gun show in the region (San Bernardino) a couple of weeks ago and stood in line for 8-1/2 hours over a 2-day period. Came away with 2,000+ rounds of 9, 40, & 45 for a bit less than $2,000 but had I been 30 minutes later there would have been no 9 or 45 left. Didn't see any Asians in line but plenty of Latinos, a few probable gang bangers, and a handful of us white supremacists. All deplorable - and all very patient and courteous the entire time.

You have as much security as you brought with you. Good for them on figuring out that the police are 15 minutes away when your lifespan may be measured in seconds.
I just this morning spent a few hours on the range with a niece who is moving out of town for her first real adult job (not fast food jobs during college). She is shooting her S&W .38 revolver very well these days, can keep them all in a 3 inch circle double action at 7 and 10 yards. With her carry gun, a smaller S&W .38 "snub nose", at 5 yds, she can do the same with boring consistency, often having two or three shots touching at that range. She's ready to go out alone and stay safe. And she has some confidence, too.
Get good training if you get a gun for self defense. As Jeff Cooper once said, 'owning a gun does not make you a marksman any more than owning a guitar makes you a musician.' Yep, way true.
Welcome to the real world, folks. Best wishes on staying safe.

#6, Scheels in the KC suburbs in Kansas had about a hundred boxes of 9mm on the shelf a few days ago and the stocker was adding more. No .38 Special or .380, though. A good bit of .223, too.

Wow! #16. The Scheels 9mm was FMJ with aluminum cases, not reloadable, and not best for self defense, but fine for range practice, and $17 for a box of 50, limit two boxes. So, 35 cents a shot.
Top grade self defense HPt ammo is difficult to find.

I love it. All Americans should exercise their 2nd amendment rights. Also, this makes the Dems push for gun control a racist act against Asians and Pacific Islanders which Joe Biden issued an executive order to protect so....bonus.
