I'm not looking to fedpost, but it is clear that none of us are safe. I find myself with some extra cash so I am about to purchase my first firearm, likely a cheap 9mm rifle just so I can work on my marksmanship as well as protect myself.
But also, I work at a small print shop and am dying to figure out how to utilize that to spread literature that can benefit my community
Get a PSA dagger 9mm. Get a 556 AR 15 from PSA. Upper and lower combo is about 350, just priced them out.
Whatever you get, have it take Glock and AR 15 mags.
I promise you I know what I'm talking about.
Yeah 9mm glock mags are going to be overwhelmingly available because that is what cops use and AR 15 is just the most available platform in the west in general but especially in the US for the same reason.
Also a great time as you said to go to local public ranges. Lots of libs are finally also arming up and might be out there and desperately need someone to guide them so they are not mistaught as we discussed in the last thread like this.
For rifle, go 5.56. 9mm is just for handgun.
5.56 us readily available and can hit lvl3 plates.
