I live in Britcuckistan where most firearms are illegal and those that aren't are extremely hard to get.

On the plus side though, a lack of gun culture means that almost everyone can't tell the difference between an airsoft weapon and the real thing.
Aim an airsoft at someone here and they'll probably still shit themselves and run.
>>
it cost A LOT of money in my country to own an handgun and you are required to have a strong reason( example: own a jewelry).
Same goes for long knives. Small knives can cost something like 30 € which is annoying but i am tihnking about purchasing one.

Pepper spray is too gay for me, but i could think about it even if it sounds like it has to be extremely limited in strenght in my country.

Funny story: when i was 17 i bought a cheap butterfly knife ( actually illegal in my country) in Romania for like 5€, smuggled it in and hid it in a box of old markers ( my mother is extremely paranoid about alcohol and weapons). Years later i had to cross daily a very infamous zone of the city to get to my gym so i decided to carry the knife. The box was no longer there and when i asked my mother she said that she gifted it to the church to make the kids of the church group play.
I like to think one 12 year old boy in my town had an extra christmas that year.

Most places in the US don't either, it's like 50 countries glued together, each is different.

Violence of all kinds have declined in the US ever since the 90's and keeps declining ever more, yet there's more guns and gun owners in the US than ever, there's more "military" style weapons in the US than ever, there's more people carrying guns than ever.

Guns are great for the US, over 90% of the time they're used to defend lives and property, unquestionably a good thing.

I read it, it assumes guns were needed to prevent these occurences. Say that they were not, then you only have a list of 10.000 people that are killed with gunfire of which 9k were gangs.

It's pretty clear why this is not a good source for argument.
>>
>>6379501
>>6379532
I think this guy was a bit off
when they did the statistic in 2011 it was
33k gun deahts /year
of that 2/3 were suicide so its 12k gun homicides/year
of that 2/3 were "justifiable homicide" such as self defense
that leaves us with about 4,000 gun murders in the USA each year.
>>
>>6379463
>economic advantage to arm themselves and their hordes of haters much more effectively than I can arm myself or those like me.
Or they just get proactive.
Its not hard to arm a lot of people, you can order 20 mosin nagants in a crate for like $1000
>>
>>6379532
>I read it, it assumes guns were needed to prevent these occurences
Sure works though.

>then you only have a list of 10.000 people that are killed with gunfire of which 9k were gangs
Which is really not a lot at all in a nation of 300 000 000 people, more people drink or eat themselves to death.

Gangbangers are gonna gangbang, on average, a person getting shot in the US by someone else has an arrest record somewhere around 11, as does the guy who shot him, he can't own a gun legally and didn't buy it at a store or pass a background check.
Do you think making the illegal things they do even more illegal is going to make them not do it?

>>6379551
>of that 2/3 were "justifiable homicide" such as self defense
Justifiable Homicide isn't actually all that common, 99% of the time presenting a firearm against a mugger or burglar will make them flee or surrender (because getting shot really sucks).
>>
>>6379506

Thank you.
>>
>>6379565
Mosin Nagants aren't actually quite as cheap anymore, you're looking at near $200 for a 91/30 these days.

On the flip side, a WASR-10/63 or a M&P-15 Sport is affordable and good.
>>
>>6379574
1 person shot is one too many we as a species can do better.

I'm not against gun ownership by the way, but there has to be a middle ground between "musket" and "gattling gun" that's reasonable and doesn't allow freaks to unleash hell on a night club or a school.

The real porblem facing the Americans is a social one.
>>
>>6379493
>So your relying on laws aimed to protect minorities to protect you because what guns are too expensive?
No. I am one single person and a member of a tiny minority. If extremists ganged up into an angry lynch mob they would outnumber me and all of those like be 100 to 1 and they would all be equally if not more armed than I am with more resources and more grassroots support.

This is why the concept of human rights was invented.

>Take some personal responsibility for your safety.
I literally just said I am armed.

>The blacks had to arm themselves to get civil rights.
No they had to arm themselves to protect against those who ignored their civil rights. Those who ignored those civil rights were tried in court and imprisoned in places not dominated by white supremacy that actually respected the rule of law.

>Why shouldn't the gays arm themselves?!
I never said they shouldn't. I merely disagree with you that weaponry is a substitute for government protection from angry armed mobs of people that outnumber those like me and civil rights advocacy to defend our rights and fight for our equality legally.

People like you are the types of guys who think they can rambo a horde of armed and professionally trained people determined to kill them with nary but a modified ar-15 and maybe a few old m67s they picked up from their buddy at a local surplus store.

I'm American, LGBT, and armed... but I'm not a fucking moron with delusions of grandeur from Call of Duty.

Where do you live where you can purchase live grenades at a surplus store?
Or AR-15 rifles at a surplus store, unless they're selling new ones

I don't think anyone says you'll be able to fend off anything with a gun, the case is that a gun makes it much harder for someone to kill you.

>>6379631
>>6379578
You're welcome, I love good value purchases, lots of old 'obsolete' things can be had for little money because it isn't the newest hottest thing.

If you're looking for a cheap rifle, again, the WASR-10/63 is good (if it's a new one, make sure it has the scope mount on the left side of the receiver, the old ones were garbage, and you can tell an old one from the lack of the mount).
If you're an AR person, Smith & Wesson's M&P-15 is good, as is Ruger's AR-556

Ruger MKII or MKIII $300-450 Excellent 22 pistol to learn to shoot on. 22's are small but deadly.
Ruger 10/22 excellent 22 rifle to learn to shoot on $350

SKS very reliable rifle for every purpose, learning, hunting, defense, defeating america, target shooting $350 ($175 in canada)

I would also suggest you look into revolvers.
they can be even cheaper than pistol and never jam.
Any S&W or Colt or Ruger revolver is going to function perfectly aftet that its just an issue of personal preference as to what caliber (truth is they all work so bigger is just bigger not better) size of the barrel and what not

This is a S&W 686 its a very popular model, i shoot a very similar S&W 620, it shoots .38 special or .357 magun both rounds have plenty of UMPH

this is kind of a large gun to carry around tho you might want to pick a smaller one :P

They're not that amazing out of a handgun barrel, I wouldn't rely on that for defense if I could get something bigger, I personally wouldn't go with anything smaller than .380ACP or .38 Special for self-defense.

When did I even mention AR-15s... or gun control? I'm not anti-gun in the least. I'm anti-call of duty rambo idiot with no sense of what it means to be a tiny minority in a country where everyone who disagrees with your existence is just as armed and dangerous as you are.

>I don't think anyone says you'll be able to fend off anything with a gun, the case is that a gun makes it much harder for someone to kill you.
My argument was that it's stupid to substitute guns and threats of violence for civil rights advocacy when you're a hated minority outnumbered 100 to 1 by people with more economic resources, weapons, and reinforcements than you'll ever have as a collective with others like you.

why are some gun calibers referred to by their inch caliber and others by their metric caliber?
>>
>>6376029
I do tho?
>>
>>6380054
Some calibers were originally popular in Europe. Some in America. Some, like the 5.56, is a NATO round. In America the .223 round, which is practically the same size as the 5.56, is only differentiated by its lower pressures and velocities. The .223 is used domestically in hunting and self-defense long arms in the U.S. while the 5.56 is used in modern service rifles like the M16, M4, G36, or others you'd see in the current war on terror.
>>
>>6380054
Because some were named by the old system and some by the new system. People can use whichever they feel like when they develop a cartridge.

.40 S&W is a reduced power 10mm Auto for example so its not just an old/new calibre thing either.

>they basically said all calibers do the shame shit
All SERVICE calibers, you know, what police and military commonly carries, with defensive hollowpoint loadings, all 9mm, .40S&W, .45ACP and .357Sig pistols, they all penetrate as deep and about as wide.

.22LR penetrates very shallowly out of a pistol barrel, and can easily be stopped by ribs or a blocking arm (stopping against the bone), it's not that people can't be killed with a .22LR pistol, it's that they're less capable than others, they can not penetrate to the FBI recommended depth.

>>6380034
>it's stupid to substitute guns and threats of violence for civil rights advocacy when you're a hated minority outnumbered 100 to 1 by people with more economic resources, weapons, and reinforcements than you'll ever have as a collective with others like you
I don't think anyone would argue otherwise.

>It doesn't matter where you live if you have enough connections
Don't get yourself v&, the ATF is known for shooting people's dogs.

>>6380054
Metric is typically from Europe and other places, caliber is often from North America, caliber is a hundredth of an inch, so .50 caliber is half an inch in diameter (this would equate to 12.7mm).

So .380ACP is often known as 9mm Kurtz or Corto (short) in some European countries, .32ACP is sometimes known as 7.65mm Browning (usually more so back in the day though).

That stuff has all largely floated together these days, but usually, the American definitions and etymology seems to be what people go by, for instance, nobody ever calls .45ACP by it's metric measurement, 11.43x23mm, because it's big damn mouthful of syllables.

When designing a new caliber, people seem to go more for a recognizable name, to differentiate them, 7.62x35mm doesn't quite sound so catchy, so it got the name .300BLK (Blackout), which is faster to type up and say, and also highlights how it's based off of the .223 Remington (5.56x45mm)
>>
>>6380158
You should mention though, most guns in the US now are made to handle 5.56 pressures so people can use whichever ammunition they want.

Not all though, important to check.

Ruger Old Army.jpg
652KB, 3208x1035px
>>6380141
What kind?

>>>6380158
You see 5.56x45mm just as often as regular .223 in the US, either as commercial loadings or as M855 military surplus (which isn't that amazing, but it's cheap).

>>6380165
See if you can get it expunged?
Otherwise, cap & ball revolvers aren't controlled as firearms and can be owned by convicts and other prohibited persons (though they will be regarded as firearms if used in the commission of a crime).

When loaded, something like a Ruger Old Army would be like any other six shot single-action revolver, just slower to reload.
With a good modern blackpowder substitute, and a good choice of .44 caliber hollowpoint bullets, it'd be roughly between a .44 Special and .44 Magnum in terms of power I'd say.
A bit big to carry concealed though.

>>6380181
If a gun is .223 Only, the manufacturer will typically state that.

>>6380176
>I don't think anyone would argue otherwise.
But yet people in this thread have. They cast gun ownership as a panacea against government protection of one's inalienable rights in a country chock full of anti-LGBT sentiment and angry mobs of Christian and right-wing extremists currently stockpiling munitions and perfecting their slipknots.

the Walther CCP was made for people without oodles of upper body strength. It has some hoodoo built in that reduces recoil, and makes the slide much easier to operate.
>>
>>6380624
Most of that is people assumptions based on gender perceptions or body perceptions there are 13 year old girls who shoot competition with full size 45 caliber pistols.

It is generally true that a smaller caliber weapon will be easier to control but it really all comes down to practice and range time. Get enough of both and you will git gud with anything.

Ultimately it comes down to your preference, If your wife is willing to learn to shoot properly, go for it otherwise I would prioritize simplicity of MoA. I feel like I should be getting paid for shilling glock this hard, but they make one in the size you want, and you just point it and pull the trigger.

Not necessarily a great gun for an enthusiast (I actually don't even own one) but for self defense they're basically the cat's pajama's.

Well if you include my whole family I think we have a pretty large collection actually, but in Canada they're required to be kept in a locked gun safe so it's not like we're walking around with the things.
Can't remember what exactly we have. Mostly shotguns and rifles like the SKS I think. I believe we only have one pistol, a glock 3rd generation I think?
While many people where I live do own guns I don't think anyone really relies them on them for protection like what the general attitude about guns is in the US, it's mostly just for hunting and recreational shooting.

Listen please faggotsan, if you want to buy a hand granade, just buy a hand granade. At least those will work when you need them to.

Buy one of the following brands:
S&W
Beretta
Glock

There is a reason these are popular old as shit brands. It's because they are dependable and they work.

Do not buy online at first and do not go for the cheapest nigger trash gun you can.

Go to a shop with at least $450 to spend on a pistol. Do not be afraid to look at used.

Pick them up, dry fire them, get a feel for them and make your purchase.

Do NOT pick up a revolver for your first. Reloading under pressure is hard enough as is without having to worry about chambering rounds.

Learn all the parts, how it functions, its quirks. How to clean and care for it.

Fire it at least once a month and at least 3 mags worth each session. Practice.

Take a course on gun safety and get your CC permit.

Shame Ruger don't make these anymore.

Very well balanced, as the bolt doesn't hold all the weight it needs for blowback in itself, rather, there's a sliding weight under the barrel which the bolt tows as it recoils, giving it the mass it needs for safe blowback operation.

>>6387555
If it makes you feel any better, most Americans who get shot are criminals, getting shot by other criminals, doing criminal things.
I think a different approach to the War On Drugs would be a much better way to look at reducing gun violence in the US.

Better than getting millions of people killed like banning civilian gun ownership did in Germany, Prussia, Turkey, and India. Also, gun violence is a terrible indicator due to defensive gun use, police gun use, and suicides are added variables. If you really want to get to the nitty gritty then you have to compare it to violent crimes or homicide.

They made it in 9mm as well, quality is pretty good, as Ruger is.

Honestly, while .40 isn't much of a difference to matter in a pistol with regular loads, from a carbine barrel, they wouldn't be too shoddy.

They're just regular Ruger pistol mags, one of the selling points was that if you already had a Ruger pistol with magazines, you didn't really need to buy new magazines. They did however stop making it due to poor sales.

Gonna be honest though, would love to see something similar done using Glock magazines (like, shipping with a 17rd or 20rd mag standard, for a lower profile, and 10rd mags for ban states).

Then maybe make it locked breech and have the bolt impact a buffer in the rear of the receiver, like on a B&T, if it can be done cheap enough, just so that the recoil is nothing.

Pistol Caliber Carbines are seriously underrated weapons, even disregarding semi-auto variants of subguns.

What do you think conceal carry is?
Not that you need to be darting your eyes left and right all the time like you're Doomguy, but the idea is that if you have a gun on you and the will and skill to use it, it's a lot easier to get out of some situations unharmed. Nobody has ever said it's foolproof for anything.

Gaybashers look for easy targets, they don't want to get shot, they're just looking for an easy outlet for their irrational hatred and frustration, 99% of the time, flashing a gun at this kind of hick will make them freeze up, then do a 360 and moonwalk away (at which point you should probably notify law enforcement that there's aggressive people prowling around in the area, looking for trouble).

And yeah, it won't be as easy if someone has scoped you out and has made plans, but realistically, how often does that happen to anyone? We're basically looking at serial killer tier here. Bashers, as well as muggers and rapists, are pretty much opportunists, and you being able to fight back will radically even out the odds and make them reconsider you as a target.

Nagants are nice, because they can be had for cheap (used to be even cheaper, you could find them for less than $90 sold out of barrels in the 80's), but take into consideration that they were made in the Soviet Union (for the most of it), under basically forced labor, and were after WW2 refurbished and put into storage (because they've got this hot new SKS and AK now, see), not always in the most graceful way.

First thing to consider, they were caked in Cosmoline, a rust preventing preservative, this allows the gun to be stored indefinitely without worrying about corrosion or other wear from the elements, but it also means that sometimes when you get a 91/30, it'll never have had it's cosmoline cleaned out, and you need to do this for best results, or the action will most likely be stiff to work.

Another thing is that some springs were replaced during refurbishment, a problem I see a lot is the cocking spring being a few coils too long, which is a greatly contributing factor to the action being difficult to work (many people will say you haven't cleaned your cosmoline out properly, but the spring is often the culprit in a sticky bolt on a clean gun), either take the spring out and clip it down one or two coils on your own, if you feel the confidence to do this, or order a replacement online.

Quality wise, they're basically Carcano tier, nothing amazing, but nothing bad either, they're rough, but they're also cheap and hard to break, and with a little bit of polish they'll be alright, even if it wouldn't be quite as nice as a Mauser or Enfield.

Also toke responsibly, don't hit the pipe too hard when shooting.

>Do you expect people to walk around everywhere with a loaded weapon on constant alert for potential threats?
Do you wear a seat belt constantly on alert for potential bomb threats? No. It's just a safety precaution and you have a leisurely drive to where you're going.
Guns aren't there to cause trouble for the average law-abiding citizen, they're just a precaution in case trouble does find them.

So, if you were to make a vanity or art piece kind of gun, with a pride theme, how would you do it? Doesn't have to be practical, just something flashy.

I figure, something really basic like a bright nickel 1911, perhaps in .38 Super (because it's an underrated old round, at least for target shooting), with laminate wrap-around, finger-grooved wood grips in rainbow colors, very plain, yet it'd stand out just enough, I'd keep the slide and frame mostly plain, to give it a clean look.

Huh.

>>6395324
A .50BMG is probably loads of fun, but a Barrett M82 isn't the most ideal for casual long range shooting, it has an MOA of like 3 or 4, it's intended as an anti-materiel rifle after all. Also it's very expensive.

I think the bolt-action and single-shot ones would most likely have a bit better results for longer distances, while being (potentially) a lot cheaper.
You could build one using an AR-15 lower receiver as a base, but I'd make sure to use a steel lower, just to be on the safe side.

That's actually extremely rare.

Presenting a gun will often change a person's mindset from "I can take this guy" to "Oh god he can kill me, let's not!", because you don't need to be big and strong to use a gun, hence why it's an equalizer, it doesn't matter if you're a petite bottom twink, a frail old grandma, or a big fat guy who's out of breath jogging down the driveway, the gun you have is a lot more dangerous to someone looking to get at you than your own body.

Even a little .38 snub can kill a man, so it doesn't have to be big and imposing to have it's intended effect, gunshots are very dangerous, most people will try to avoid getting shot at if they at all can, even if they really hate you or really wanted your money/boypussy.
>>
>>6395656
Can confirm, in Sweden, pepper spray is a restricted weapon and you can't carry it as a civilian, and you're not allowed to carry a knife in public.

In many EU countries, basically anything which can enable you defending yourself is illegal to carry on your person, or sometimes even own.

None of them are usually very great, but they're impossible to break, so you don't really have to worry about what you shoot in them.
They're a bit lighter weight than a full sized pump, so recoil will be stronger, but a shot is a shot.

Those aren't too hard to get really.
Hell, if all you want is a single-action, Ruger makes the New Vaquero line, available in .357 Mag for cheaper shooting, modern make single-actions all typically have transfer-bar mechanisms, so that they're safe to load all chambers on.

Much cheaper than paying money for Colt's branding.

Statistics mean absolutely nothing when it comes to YOU, anon. Do YOU feel mentally prepared to use it on yourself, and do you think you are not responsible enough to learn proper gun handling and safety?

Not true, that study has been debunked repeatedly.

By far, guns are used more for self-defense than they are for suicide, or figure in accidents.

If you don't want a gun, fine, but don't think you're "safer" because you don't, it's about as much safer as not having a pool, you're a lot less likely to drown in your backyard without a pool, but how likely were you to drown in it anyway?

Not the anon you're replying to; I would like to own a gun but I am still kind of hesitant because there are times in my past where if I had had access to one I think it is likely I would have killed myself. I don't really think there is anything I can do about it besides continue to try to improve my mood and outlook on life but I'm still worried that if I get to that low point again I would do something dumb.

Fair enough.

You know something that's fun and works as a gateway into getting a gun later on? An airgun, like a basic break-barrel rifle in .177 caliber you could pick up at WalMart, just plink at old cans in your yard (just remember to wash your hands after a shooting session, because, you know, lead).

Optionally you could also look at an old fashioned Daisy Red Ryder gun, if you like A Christmas Story, you can shoot more than once with those.

Yeah the really nice guns are pretty pricey but i look at it like this buy the cheaper gun as a placeholder till you can afford a nicer one. You can always sell it to a gun shop or pawnshop later for a bit of ammo money for your new fancy gun.

Other then that my only suggestion is a savings jar for change.

Tbh I'm not too smart about guns! I get the most enjoyment shooting revolvers, so I would go for a middle form factor revolver with nice wood grips in something like rosewood...

Reloading spent brass seems like a fun hobby too.

I'm having some tranny surgery soon so I have as much money on standby as possible just in case lol, haven't picked out anything specific because I dunno what my budget is.

I'd do research, and also ask my uncle who takes me shooting. Any suggestions or favorites?

In this day and age I suggest a semi-auto pistol, 9mm to be specific and a Glock variant to be even more specific. You can abuse the shit out of them and they keep running, plus 9mm is fairly cheap to shoot.
For rifles AK or AR both are great platforms AKs probably require a lot more research to not get a shit one but you will not be sorry if you get a good one.
You can get a BCM pre-built AR and not go wrong there, they are quality guns and great right out of the box.

Reloading is awesome, I recommend any shooter try it at least once, nothing like throwing on some Band of Brothers and loading 30-06 for the M1. For pistols you can get on sgammo or bulkammo and get Tula or Wolf cheap for all your 9mm needs and same for AK food.
>>
>>6406235
Thanks sempai! I dunno if I will ever go deep enough to get a rifle, but maybe. I mostly like shooting my bows for big unwieldy shit, but maybe a rifle could be fun. My dad and brother have some type of assault rifle, I forgot the name, I need to try shooting with them some time, but they're surprisingly lazy about actually going shooting lol.

>get the most enjoyment shooting revolvers, so I would go for a middle form factor revolver with nice wood grips in something like rosewood

You could probably find an old used Ruger Security Six in like the $400 range
http://www.gunbroker.com/item/564753831
Here's one in good condition starting at $465

http://www.gunbroker.com/item/563989889
Here's a 4 inch stainless one, with some wear, otherwise good condition, only has a pair of rubber grips, but getting a rosewood one made (or if you find an existing one) down the line wouldn't be too hard or expensive.

Not necessarily saying you should bid on either of these two revolvers, but just showing an example that you can get a pretty decent .357 revolver used, for not an inordinate amount of money.
Fun thing with .357 Magnum revolvers is not only that .357 has some authority to it, but not so much power that it's hard to get used to (it's kind of the happy medium of revolver cartridges), but aside from just shooting soft loads of it, you can shoot cheaper and even lighter .38 Special cartridges, a wadcutter .38 load would have very little recoil in a full sized .357 revolver.

http://www.ruger.com/products/gp100/models.html

Otherwise you could look at a newly made Ruger, they're really hefty in their build so you can make some pretty hot loads for them and they'll take it.
The prices look a bit higher, but it does come with warranty, and rule of thumb with MSRP is that it's usually always listed as $100 higher than what you'd actually pay for it when buying it at a store (I don't really know why this is)

>Reloading spent brass seems like a fun hobby too
It absolutely can be, put on some nice music, maybe some radio show or podcast, while you trim and clean used brass, replace primers, etc, very relaxing, you can also experiment with custom loads, reloading can also be a very economic way of shooting.

There's various guides and videos on YouTube for things like these.
>>
>>6406258
>I dunno if I will ever go deep enough to get a rifle, but maybe
It's worth trying one out, maybe ask to try out your friends or family member's guns at a range trip to see if you can get a feel for how different guns are to shoot and handle.

You can get rifles in .357 Magnum chambering by the way, so in that way, you can buy and load ammo for just one caliber, you wouldn't have to buy a new one, if you already had a revolver.

Though to keep in mind, you can buy and make loadings which are meant to work better through a rifle than a handgun, like Hornady Leverevolution, terrible out of a handgun, but performs great out of a rifle.

At any rate, any common .357 FMJ round should perform great out of either a revolver or a rifle.

Marlin 1894C, magazine holds 9 rounds, so a fully loaded rifle would be 10 shots, not bad for .357 Magnum, especially given that the longer barrel gives them a little more oomph, while the recoil is very easy to handle.

http://www.marlinfirearms.com/firearms/1894centerfire/1894c.asp
Marlin had been in kind of a rough patch for a long while, but a while ago, they finally replaced all their old shitty and worn out tooling (I'm not kidding when I say they'd alter their blueprints to make up for the increasingly sloppy tolerance and capability of their factory machinery, something they've thankfully stopped doing), so if it's a brand new Marlin, you can reasonably trust that the quality is ok (but don't be afraid to nag their customer service if something isn't acting/working as it should).

Basically, you push in cartridges in the loading gate on the receiver, then you move the lever forward and back to load a round.
Fire, work the lever, which cocks the hammer and throws out the empty casing as it opens, then picks up the next round from the magazine as it closes.

Lever-actions can be a bit rough on some people's knuckles, but you can get a leather piece to strap onto it so it isn't quite as rough (or wrap it in paracord). You can shoot them pretty fast with a little bit of practice (though make sure you've got the motion down, I've jabbed my finger on the trigger once while doing fast repeating, which can hurt a bit)

Meet somewhere in public, like the parkinglot of a Denny's or McDonalds or whatever, talk online beforehand, ask to see pictures of the bore, etc.
You can also buy used in most gunshops, and some pawnshops have an FFL and will trade in firearms, look around in your city.

If the bore looks like a sewerpipe, avoid buying it (this is more of a risk with old military rifles than anything, but you never know). You check this by first making sure the rifle is unloaded, then use a light to inspect it (usually there's specialized borelights for this)

As long as the bore looks reasonably clear and not full of pitting or rust, it should be good.
Pic related, the first one is alright, the second one is a little questionable but its' probably just dirt, third bore is a horrorshow and you should avoid it.

>Is there any red flags to look out for when buying used?
I can't really think of anything dramatic, maybe decline to meet in person if he looks like the Unabomber or whatever, but you can deal with this stuff online without having to meet in person.

I am being honest. Clinton has already made statements about gun control. "No one needs an assault rifle" and other such bullshit.

Normally, this wouldn't matter, since she'd get BTFO by the Supreme Court. But Scalia is dead, and there will be more vacancies, which gives her license to stack the Supreme Court with judges that will reinterpret the Second Amendment.

Hey guys,

So I'm thinking of getting a pistol for both self-defense and sport. I've wanted a gun for the last few years now because I'm feeling more and more unsafe in general plus I find shooting to be fun and almost therapeutic.

Any advice? I'm a college student so I probably won't be able to afford the incredibly nice ones but I would like something functional and easily maintained. I cannot take this into my classes (obviously) but I'm not sure about keeping it in my car while on campus. I live in Georgia so I feel as though the gun laws should be fairly lax in comparison to the rest of the country.
>>
>>6407422
Yeah, I just got out of it for a while, I don't really know why.

>>6407460
I'm not sure, see if there's a thread on /k/ or something. You could get a glock or a ruger maybe. Or a S&W if you're into revolvers.

Look up Georgia laws honestly.

And for what you'd best suited for, it depends on what you're looking for and what your budget is.

I'm just going to go ahead and suggest the M&P Compact, probably in 9mm, it's a good gun, but ultimately, you'd have to get a feel for it to be able to decide if it's right for you, remember, you need to be comfortable with the gun you carry, maybe you're looking for a smaller gun (like the M&P Shield) or a bigger gun (the regular M&P), or maybe the M&P line just isn't your thing (so not the M&P)
>>
>>6407460
Georgia /k/ommando here.

Campus Carry bill did not pass this year. So you can't legally have firearms on you or in your car, on campus.

I suggest you save your pennies and get a Glock 19 MOS.

Conceal carrying one isn't that much harder than a single stack compact like a S&W Shield. Plus it is nearly full size, is already set up to mount optics, and has a huge aftermarket of competition parts. So you will save money in the long run by not having a sporting gun and a conceal carry gun.

Getting a Georgia Weapons License isn't hard. Though Fulton and Dekallb counties will take the maximum time allowed by law to mail you, your GWL. You need a GWL to conceal or open carry a pistol. Though rifles and shotguns do not need a GWL to be open carried. need to be 18 years old for a rifle or shotgun, 21 for a pistol.

there are lots of cheap or free to use WMA ranges in Georgia. though will have to drive an hour or two to get to one. shooting there will be cheaper than an indoor range, or at least a better value.
