This is the place for discussion about firearms and related topics.
No fedposting. Be careful not to dox yourself. Talking about and owning guns obviously isn't illegal, but that doesn't mean some chud won't try to use information against you.
I highly recommend using a throwaway when asking for or giving advice that may include identifying information. Using Tor doesn't hurt.
