What does it take to get liberals off their asses and get armed?! FFS, calling the cops to defend you is a bad idea at best, your death at worst. We all know this. Defend yourself first, call the cops second. And think on this, how fast you think they'll be there to save you when seconds count?
There are plenty of resources to teach you safety, law and how to shoot. POC, women and LGBT folks have been the largest gun buying demographic for a couple of years now. Think they might know something you do not?
CAVEAT EMPTOR: For the love of god, do not just run out and buy a pistol, call it all good. You must learn and practice safety. You must know the laws in your area. You must know what your weapon is capable of and practice, practice, practice. 1,000 rounds is the minimum to get comfortable and assure the machine's reliability.
If you do not wish to take on this learning curve? We all good, but don't do it.
Kinda irrelevant to this story. There should be no firearm in the same household as an abuser.
