I’m seriously considering arming myself. I’ve never owned a gun, nor wanted one in my home or person, because it’s FAR more likely to hurt someone I care about than it is to hurt a bad actor.
But I fear times are changing, and that being armed may be the difference between life and death at the hand of a hate actor. Given the history of this country, I think the odds of hate-based violence is on the rise, given the permission granted by the incoming regime.
So, what do I do to get armed safely? I want to get trained, and I want something solely for defense, the minimum possible force that is effective at deterring violence. Should I go to some local gun range and ask join a training program?
