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.

Due to supply issues and customer feedback, CMP will no longer offer a free rifle case with every rifle purchase. Customers will receive one free rifle case per calendar year with their first purchase of an M1 Garand in each calendar year. Rifles not shipped in a rifle case, will be shipped in a custom (made for specifically for CMP) corrugated cardboard box with convoluted foam. Rifle cases will be eligible for purchase when quantity permits. This does not apply to pistol orders. All CMP 1911 pistols will be shipped in a pistol case.
How many people are buying multiples of these things that they had to put up this disclaimer?
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
