More law-abiding citizens should buy guns legally and take the proper training courses. Nowadays there's too much violence, anger, and hatred going about. All the many kinds of good people out there can do is learn to protect themselves, and never apologize for it. It's better to live and have a few reprobates gnashing their teeth than die and have few if any care.
I concur.....in just the past year, Ive convinced a half dozen people to purchase a home defense weapon.....people who were formerly scared shitless of guns. Society is becoming a Jonestown and the progressives have this attitude of "meh"............which is all fun and games until the time comes when you have to defend yourself with a fucking wiffle ball bat.
In the past 40 years here on Long Island, Ive seen an utter deterioration of the culture..........its just a matter of time.
Any of you members on here at home and are not armed, you're out of your skull. At least get a pump shotgun......cheap and ammo up.
Some who do believe in the right to bear arms and want to buy them can't, because they can't afford it at the moment. At my local Reineman's there's a black hunting shotgun I'm considering. It's around $450. While I can buy it right now, I don't know if that would be wise, because I am working hard to keep all my own bills paid up and taking care of unexpected problems like car troubles.
I'm relatively inexperienced with everything guns, including the terminology. If I can buy an inexpensive handgun that will work if and when I need it to, that would be a good first step. Buying a shotgun may intimidate the other people I live with should they learn of my purchase. If I could buy a decent shotgun and keep it in secret, I'd feel both secure and confident.
