Hitting the gym to become a swoletariat, looking to arm myself as well.
I've gone shooting before, and my Dad just bought a couple guns himself because of all the pogroms he's been seeing against Muslims in ingerland.
I'm based in the United States of Amerikkka, mods please let me know if this isn't allowed!
For to learn: a 22lr. 10/22 if you like rifle, Ruger mkiv or browning buckmark for pistol. Very little recoil, cheap to shoot, good fun guns.
For defense: a 9mm pistol if you want to conceal (biggest one you can reasonably conceal. Small guns are harder to shoot), or an AR-15 for home/community defense. There is a reason right wingers love this gun - it's great and easy to maintain.
Get a good light for your defense implement of choice, and a sling as well if it's a rifle.
