Due to the mere mention of ANYTHING political, this post is unallowed in /k/. But please try to keep the /pol/ shit to a minimum, if you can:
I'm a white male liberal living in a liberal town (Portland). I'm usually for gun control (or at least better gun regulations) and what have you. But recent events in Charlottesville, and other similar events throughout the 2010s, is starting to make me consider carrying a fire-arm on me.
Because the world, or at least America, is certainly becoming a less safe place for now. And I've definitely had encounters thus far into 2017 that made me wish a weapon was within my reach. In addition, I'm not only considering fire-arms for protection, but also have one in the hopes of deterring potential ugly encounters from even starting (if that's possible).
So what's a good weapon of choice for someone with virtually no gun knowledge? .45 sidearms have a nice ring in my ear. But I guess I should also come out and say there's a history of mental illness in my family. I've had MDD and PTSD (nothing related to guns) since I was a kid, and made suicide attempts before (but the last recorded instance was 2006). I've been in behavioural therapy since 2005. And I've never been committed or arrested for any reason whatsoever.

Black people aren't going to fuck with you autist stop buying into media garbage. I live in shitty ass Florida and deal with nigger and spics constantly and I get along with them because I have basic people skills. Live in the real world.

You played yourself with your regulations retard. You can't have guns. You literally are pro keeping guns away from people just like you...

Slit wrists in high school. And no, there was no hospital visit due to shitty insurance. Even then, privacy laws and patient-doctor confidentiality prevent that info. from showing up in federal background checks.

>>137481295
well that depends, did you do it inside your publicly government funded high school?
also you shouldn't have guns, anyway. it's funny, like what this poster said >>137481094, you are literally the poster child for the reason why you also are likely pro gun control

Not if you are committed. (i.e. 5150 or 5250) If you show up to a hospital and are obviously there because of an attempt to harm yourself, you will be put on a 3-day mandatory court ordered hold, if not longer.

At home. Bath tub. Parents found me. But because of shitty insurance at the time, they didn't want to pay for a doctor to check me out. So it was left at that.

Not if it was willingly. Never had any commitment happen.

Then this was not a "recorded" instance. You obviously also failed miserably if you didn't even need medical attention.
Did you get the attention you were looking for?

This was back in high school, so...
>Did you get the attention you were looking for?
That would've been worse.

Watch In Search of the Second Amendment. It's free on YouTube. You do not have an opinion on this issue if you do not know what negative rights are or how the Glorious Revolution is part of this.
Attend a safety class or concealed carry class, for fifty bucks you will learn everything you need to know and have a supervised practice.
Try out guns with a view toward what fits your hand and feels right. Don't bet everything on caliber. In a survey I trust conducted by an ex-cop using police data, all attackers took between two and three hits to be stopped, regardless of caliber.

Get a 12-gauge shotgun. Best gun to kill yourself with.

Revolver. Preferably medium frame. .38 Special.
Don't get a semi-auto unless you plan to get formal training, or get some gun experience under your belt.
Just make sure you're mentally stable enough to have access to a firearm in your home.
