ICE has been raiding elementary schools in the past few days.

I dont expect 2nd graders to read the article.

Thanks for letting us know what is going on.

Most kids don't have the set of photos you describe in government databases.

Welcome to America

The problem is that you're probably not lying in wait with a mythical concealed-carry shotgun. Realistic sequences that have happened in the recent past:

  • A couple guys wearing utility company uniforms ask to step inside to diagnose a problem. They then jump you and arrest you.
  • Your camera system stops working due to jamming. Then 15 armed men break through your door and surprise you while you're asleep in bed.
  • Several people in the crowd at your kid's graduation ceremony suddenly surround you and zip-tie your wrists before you realize what's going on.

You're going to be dealing with a situation where you don't see in advance what's happening, and where you're confronted with a whole batch of people who are heavily armed and wearing body armor. That's a situation where one individual acting alone is very unlikely to succeed in killing an assailant with a gun.

Odds of shooting somebody in face when you are ambushed by a larger group of armed men are low.

They're wearing body armor. Dude with a concealed gun likely ends up dead, and ICE gets no charges because they were afraid.

Probably be stuck in customs for life.
