Anybody else pack a heater? (Non-burgerlanders, we know this is not normal or good, but we are surrounded by frothing at the mouth chuds with guns). Right now I carry a pepper spray and a legal knife, never needed to use it, but I'm thinking of carrying. What are your thoughts on this from the trans perspective?
I recommend a 9mm semi auto to everyone for their first pistol. Easy to use, ammo is (relatively) cheap, almost no kickback. And despite what some gun bros say a 9mm is gonna stop someone just as easily as a .45
I don't carry, I don't have anything worth killing someone over. But I'm a cis male so I don't have to think about personal safety in the same way. I fully support arming my trans comrades. Just remember you never point a gun a something you aren't willing kill, pulling a gun isn't a threat it's a statement of intent. That said if your intent is to kill transphobes and Nazis
