Hitting the gym to become a swoletariat, looking to arm myself as well.
I’ve gone shooting before, and my Dad just bought a couple guns himself because of all the pogroms he’s been seeing against Muslims in ingerland.
I’m based in the United States of Amerikkka, mods please let me know if this isn’t allowed!
a .22 pistol. you can take it to the range for cheap, and carry it if you need to.
if you are buying two guns, I would say a .22 rifle, and a centerfire pistol in the caliber of your choosing (stick with 9 mm, .40, or .45). Glock is reliable, and probably has the largest aftermarket market if you ever feel like customizing it. Ruger is inexpensive and reliable.
