Dozens of Chinese business owners in the Triangle say they have felt targeted by thieves for so long that they have turned to firearms, including AR-15 assault-style rifles, to defend their livelihoods and their families. About 100 small-business owners have banned together to form the North Carolina Chinese Hunting Club to train in shooting techniques.

“They're changing their mentality,” said John Wang, a local business owner who translated into English for four other Chinese business owners. "Now, they're going to start shooting back.
Members of the N.C. Chinese Hunting Club studies firearm safety and tactical-shooting techniques like drawing a holstered pistol from the hip into an accurate aim.

The club practices at the Wake County Firearms Education & Training Center. On a recent Sunday, the original 10 club members gathered for a lesson. The eight men and two women wore jeans, Nike sneakers and boat shoes.

The club's members are divided into small groups that meet once a month for instruction by Wei Miao. Members who gathered on a recent Sunday fired off rounds with pennies balanced on the weapons' muzzles, learning to overcome recoil and stay on target even if it's necessary to empty a clip at rapid speed.

As a first0-generation immigrant and naturalized American citizen, this means a lot to me, and it also reminds me of the following:

These people walked away from their country, their culture, their extended family, and their homes in search of something better. They crossed an ocean, language barrier, and jumped socioeconomic hurdles simple to get here. They landed in a place where the first question to all Asians is "are ya Chinese or Japanese?"

They learned our language, our laws, our social code. They found community, started businesses from nothing, and tried to give their children a better life. All in a country that was, at its best, completely indifferent to them. Though, mostly, it was pretty racist.

On April 29, 1992 civil unrest (as a result of a police department and justice system they had no hand in creating or corrupting) threatened their homes, their businesses, and their livelihood. Everything they'd fought for was about to be taken from them as the city of LA came down on top of them. They responded in the most 'Merica way possible; they took up a defensive position and said "Stand your ground. Do not fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here."

That day, these men became more American than most people who were born here could ever be. They were willing to die fighting, rather than giving up their American Dream. They deserve to be honored and remembered for that.
