With plenty of uncertainty and political turmoil, I've seen many people looking into guns for personal and community defense for the first time. So I'm making this post to help answer questions you may have!

Hey, these are good suggestions, but some of those options are illegal in many areas. You might want to find out at least general location of the person asking before you make suggestions.

You can't expect a random person on the internet to know your laws, sorry NY, IL and CA. That is where a local gun store can also be tremendously helpful.

For CA it's essentially the same but learn your shit for the test and your magazine better not have more than 10 rounds if the rollers roll on you and check how your roll is rolled.
