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.

So you didn't give a shit about other people's rights until YOU felt personally threatened? Just stay unarmed, this will all blow over soon enough

>hundreds of deaths due to islamic terror
>no effect on you
>one guy runs over one girl
>ok i need to think about my defense
You're a cuck, and will die soon.
I suggest a 12 gauge shotgun. Aim for your face. Unamerican shits like you deserve to suffer minority attacks or failed suicide attempts.

well buy a rock then
If you can get a firearm without revealing on your tests your insanity then purchase a Glock. It will serve you well; just watch your fingers near the slide when you cup it.
I would recommend glock, like the anon above me but if you want something with a little more weight to it you cant go wrong with a sig sauer, or a colt
>>39067402
>usually for gun control
Just die please. Now that it's all about you, you think guns are great?
Also, if I recall Oregon laws correctly, as long as you were never involuntarily committed for mental illness, it's not only legal for you to get a gun, but your illnesses also won't show up on (most) background checks due to privacy laws.

Learn how to use a real weapon like a bow or a boomerang or something.
If the world ends, you'll be able to raid a store and get what you need.
If a civil war breaks out, some foreign government will drop arms caches or whatever the fuck to stir up shit.
For everything else, just rely on traditional weapons. You'll be harder to handle and more self reliant. Bows, daggers, swords, boomerangs, stun rods, and so on.

>>39067844
boomerangs are pretty OP if you know how to wield them.
>cannot pinpoint direction it came from
>can't hear it coming
>will KO you in one blow
>portable and light
>if you miss the boomerang returns to you, giving you infinite ammo
I think the rest of the world could learn from Texas. Iirc theres a part kf texas now where you can legally carry a sword in public areas.

trimming the bullshit and just posting

would let you get an answer on /k/ where people would actually know what the fuck they're talking about
you're like a chick, only instead of jamming your face into frame at every possible opportunity you're jamming your irrelevant political context into everything.
>>39067818
Yes, widely available guns are a shitty choice. Much better to find a boomerang or build a sweet stun gun.
>>39068026
A stun boomerang?
You're a genius!
>>39067402
Buy a taser or mace. No need for a gun, particularly with your history of violence and mental illness.
>>39068071
>history of violence and mental illness
where's the violence part?

Just kill yourself. If you don't support freedom until someone threatens yours you don't deserve it at all.
Are you just now realizing that by voting for gun control you're voting to remove your own power?
>>39067402
>coming to r9k for gun advice
Good thing mentally challenged people can't get guns.
>>39067402
Please dont purchase a firearm.
Utter dipshits like you give us a bad name.
>>39068207
There's a lot of us who shoot. We just don't share advice with pieces of shit like OP. He made his bed, now he can die in it.
>>39068242

This. Kill yourself numale

It's nice for the confirmation that all you progs, commies, jews, and apathetic scum really fear in your hearts is the white man.

>if you miss the boomerang returns to you, giving you infinite ammo
A boomerang returning to the thrower is a novelty trick done with a flimsy boomerang in open air at just the right angle while the wind is just right.
Irrelevant to boomerangs that are weapons and/or are being used as weapons.
>>39068469
you're a fucking novelty trick go use your meme guns and get ptsd for all I care
>>39067402
You can always move to the hood if you're scared of white people.
>>39068954
The autist in me wants to correct you but the thought of OP actually falling for it is too good to pass up. Good advice, I agree with you.
>>39069018
What is there to correct if the post doesn't exist? What did it say?
>>39067818
I prefer the bow staff
>>39067402
>So what's a good weapon of choice for someone with virtually no gun knowledge?
Don't do it. Weapons are an upfront cost. There are hidden fees, someone that attacks you has nothing to lose for it. Either they can afford it outright, or they can pool up enough people to keep attacking you. The lives they throw away doing it only matter since they can profit off it. Don't carry a weapon unless you think it's entirely dire people will risk anything to destroy you just because they can. It's surprisingly common that people can.

Nice blog, faggot.
