Roy from the Paul Harrell channel recently produced a short video with very good advice entitled ‘Go Buy A Gun.’
As he outlines in the video, you will want to check with local laws and seek out help if you’re not experienced in such matters. And we have six solid reasons to ‘pull the trigger’ (pardon the pun) on gun ownership.

Here is a summary of his six reasons:
1. All part of being prepared.
Owning a gun is simply a part of being prepared for emergencies. Where it’s better to have something and not need it than to need something and not have it. Firearms are like any other piece of emergency equipment, the same as first aid kits, fire extinguishers, water, and long-term food emergency food supplies. You never know what’s going to happen, so having emergency equipment like firearms puts you in a much better position to survive when the excrement intersects the rotatory air distribution device.
2. Resisting the lies.
We’ve all heard them, ‘It’s easier to buy a gun than to vote’ or ‘It’s easier to buy a gun than buy vegetables.’ Those of us who have gone through the process of buying a gun – but lost it somewhere in a tragic boating accident – know those are complete lies. The infuriating thing is the perpetrators of those lies most likely know this themselves, but they don’t care.
If you’ve never purchased a gun before, you might succumb to that thinking -- at least on a subconscious level – then when someone asks about the issue and you don’t know, you might fall back on the words of the control freak contingent of our society. This is where going through the process yields tremendous benefits for you and everyone else.

I see a Ruger Super Blackhawk .44 mag Stainless for $889 locally.
...very reliable, inexpensive, lifetime guaranteed .45 ACP, able to add a suppressor, and rated for .45 +P ammunition.

No, I don't get paid to endorse them but yes, if I lived in a non-Communist state, I'd already have two of them. Dual wielding is real.
What is the first rule of gun safety?
Always treat it as if it were loaded. (because it should be)
No, the first rule is to have fun.
.44 Mags are easy to come by. .41s, not so much.
It’s a great caliber.
Another option is .45 Colt. You can load them way hot if you have a Ruger revolver.
“My county went 69% for Trump...”
Excellent, that’s probably about as good as it gets. There’s a pleasing noticeable difference in such places.
Mine (here in MT) was 75% Trump, 22% Harris, 2% Kennedy, & 1% libertarian guy.
Better by the numbers, but it’s a lot warmer here!
AW HELL!. I was staying at a hotel in Harlingen TX close to the Mexican border for work. A very large drunk mexican man started banging on my door telling me to get out because he was going to kill me for sleeping with his wife. I hollared out the door that he had the wrong room. After about 10 minutes of that, I pulled the curtain back and tapped the glass with the business end of a .357 mag. He decided that he had to leave at that point. I never had to fire a shot, but it saved my life that night.
1. Always treat a weapon as if it is loaded.
2. Never point a weapon at anything unless you intend to kill it.
3. Cleaning a weapon starts with unloading a weapon.
4. Never forget 1-3.
0. If anyone is handing you a weapon, always ask, where is the safety, and is it on? If they don’t know, or it doesn’t even have a safety, strongly consider not accepting it from them. Any gun without a safety is a high risk item, even in the hands of an experienced gun user, because life if full of little surprises.
No, the first rule is to have fun!
I collected until I retired and now in a Gun friendly State I’m always deciding What next comes out to Play !

Life is Good.
