national guard has been mobilized where i live. they are staging at a large church and I've heard they are flying alot of helicopters in and out of a neighboring town.

all I can say is this. body armor isn't going to stop a load of buckshot to the face. I dont care how many are in a unit carrying firearms. they come on my property and it's gonna get ugly
Chic, what is the governor's reasoning behind the National Guard being there? I wouldn't like it either Be safe!

National guard was at the food bank I went to last week.

Past that some of the local grocery stores have been using them to assist with semi deliveries of groceries and tp.

As long as they aren't being issued weapons, they may be helping with logistical support. (hospitals, shipping companies, etc)

it's your governor too. Abbott said something a couple weeks ago about using them to aid relief efforts or some hogwash.

Howdy neighbor! I am southwest of Houston and have not seen the National Guard in our area. Hope I don't!

Anxious to hear what our governor is going to say about opening the state up.

Lots of protests around the country. Calm and cool heads prevail my friend. My biggest concern right now, if people don't simmer down. The next step for governors and those within the states, is not a pretty one at all.

National Guard was deployed to replace polling place workers here since so many poll workers are elderly/high-risk. Not everything has to involve weapons.
