If there is violence, Chaney said, Kenoshans are better prepared this time. After the last riots, the town also saw a massive post-riot gun-buying spree. “You have the God-honest right to keep a gun in your home. If someone crosses that line, you have got the right,” Chaney said. One armed Kenosha resident said that he dreads the thought of any potential violence in his town, although he is prepared for it. Gun owner Terry Weidig said that after the Jacob Blake riot, many Kenoshans and nearby people bought so many guns and ammunition that they was almost impossible to find.
