Real talk, you can go buy a gun today and you probably should (maybe not and maybe not today). It's twenty minutes. Then sign up for some how tos, probably at the place you bought it from and take a few classes. Shoot until you get a good feel for it, then plan to shoot every now and then or as often as you want.
Yes, it's a terrible industry run my terrible people. No you're not John Wick, but fascist need speed bumps, and the police don't care about you at best.
The eternal internal conflict of buying a gun to oppose fascism and not buying a gun because of mental health 🙃
You have a couple of options:
First, get the gun, but before that, line up a "firing pin buddy" who can keep parts to make sure your firearms cannot fire. You give the person your firing pins when needed, or they feel they need to.
Or, don't get a gun, and git gud at other valuable skills. First aid, mutual aid networking, etc etc. Also, pepper gel is decent enough for self defense. Also, cane fighting skills work well, and a lot of self defense cases exist, for example.
A third option is to train with a gun buddy and buy one when you feel it is definitely needed. no major financial burden, and you get firearms training.
And another good option!

I'd love one, but MAN are they expensive.
PSA is South Carolinian (but they also have locations in some surrounding states). Afaik, no FL.
No problem. They're actually named after the state, too. South Carolina is known as "The Palmetto State" because their state tree is the palmetto palm, and it's on their flag. Kinda like Texas (The Lone Star State) and its lone star.
Oh don't worry, those are everywhere in SC too! Haha. Palmetto bugs own like half the country.
Idk I thought it was a good point. It's a hard time to buy a bad gun, not impossible, but odds are better you'd just overpay. I haven't got a chance to shoot one, but I understand those psa daggers are basically gen 3 Glocks now that the patents, or whatever, have expired.
I'm not sure you'd have an easy time finding a gun manufacturer/seller that isn't sort of trash.
If you look at how much they are on the second hand market they become much better deals. But yes, it is a large amount of money.
How many people are buying multiples of these things that they had to put up this disclaimer?
Apparently there is a group of people who max out their orders every year (8 I believe) and either stockpile them or sell them in various ways.
People should be sitting on a few drones too
Nah, they're quite pointy.
If you’re encouraging responsible ownership the very first step is secure storage.
A gun safe and a separate ammo safe.
That is the absolute first step to ensuring there are no accidental discharges. Most people are shot with their own gun, in their own home, by themselves or a family member.
Yep! I'm planning on purchasing a firearm in the next year. But I'm moving first so rather than move safes and firearms across state lines I'm waiting. Because there's little in life that's dumber than leaving around an expensive weapon that's serial number is tied to your name
