I'm in the Twin Cities, I'm guessing the person you're responding to is in a first or second ring suburb (and I'm not dismissing their experience for that - ICE never left Minnesota, they're just operating in the suburbs now where it's harder to build a response against them so they're seeing some shit right now), but concealed carry permit requests are way up right now in the twin cities proper. People here are buying guns in response to the gestapo. I don't know anyone personally who has purchased a firearm, but I've seen the local news articles about the phenomenon.
