Firearms

[The Goof]

So, I am in the US. I also now own a weapon. I am not anti gun but never wanted to own one. However during this most recent election a gun store in my county was actually robbed. At the time there was also a lot of threats swirling around due to the potential outcome of the election. 

I had a lot of thoughts. Bringing a gun into my home only heightens the chance of gun violence now. Also my state is probably the most lax in the US, after maybe Texas, about guns. So it was an easy process for me to obtain a pistol. 

I formerly trained with pistols and shotguns and the varying laws with where you can carry a weapon. The varying state laws are too different for me to keep up with so I decided this will just be for at home protection. Learning to clean the piece and up keep it was honestly rather easy. And storage was easy because I don’t live with many people. That would be my only fear and big con. The people in your home and how they might react to seeing a weapon. If you live alone though this might not come up.
