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!
As a plus, you can leave a revolver loaded without issue, whereas magazines need to be stored empty.
Springs don't degrade from being stored compressed, they degrade from being cycled. You can store mags full without worry.
That's (good) news to me; retired cop turned gun store salesman told me to always store them empty. Not saying he knows what he's talking about, because, after all, he was still a pig, and cops are about as bright as a box of rocks.
Yeah you can store mags full without worry, if it makes your brain itch just grab a few replacement springs and toss em in the ammo can with the loaded mags for a just-in-case
