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!

      Forget buying "good" guns as your first. Go with only the most practical self defense options: A Lady's Home Companion and a homemade punt gun

      Stargate SG-1 was the first show I watched to completion and I could barely watch an episode now, it just reeks of a libs idea of what the US military is (or should be) :(

      I like the P90 from a "let's do it different to see what's up" sense

        FWIW, 5.7x28mm is a very good round for penetrating kevlar vests and is very controllable and has pretty good ballistics out to the ranges you'd practically use a handgun or PDW for

        Hopefully you're never in a situation where that would be a useful advantage

        It's also expensive as hell per round for its size and a handgun chambered in it is going to have a chunkier grip due to the length of the magwell

        (I still kinda want a Keltec P50 though)

          Yeah, it's a very engineering round, fine for someone designing a gun assuming they can negotiate a supply chain, but probably impractical for an end user
