I’m hoping things don’t go as bad as I fear, food supply issues, hate crimes, increased crime in general,breakdown of social norms, but—-! I bought a goddamn gun today! Took a gun safety class 5 days ago, I was scared shitless, I was an epic fail at the shooting range, yet I now own a $600 gun, WTF? - ThreadSky

I got my conceal carry last year, I always have my personal protection. I used my refund for a 20 gauge shot gun for property protection out here in the country. I’m just being prepared too

Our next purchase is a 20 gauge too, like you just to be prepared, but really really hope you and us never have to use any of them🥰 you be all tied up

I am right behind you!!!

I've also been considering this as well. I really don't want a gun in my home, but worry because the MAGA crowd is so lawless

uealf.bsky.social•3 days ago

They’ve been given permission to hate and also desperate people do desperate things, at least consider pepper spray, I got one for my purse one for each of our cars (definitely not going to be carrying a gun around !!) one by the front door one in each nightstand.

My son and I have been considering this move.

Believe me, I did not do it lightly! I have been anti-gun my entire adult life, would not allow one in the house! Please don’t wait too long, feel like anything could happen at any time, also been stocking up on non-perishables, damn I hate sounding like a survivalist, always thought they were nuts!

I'm not afraid of not being able to get a gun in this country. I'm afraid of getting a gun in time.

uealf.bsky.social•3 days ago

Absolutely! I feel the same sense of urgency, thus spending $600 today we really couldn’t afford! But I am 75. It had to be a gun that I could handle! that I could load, use the slide, handle the recoil and pull the damn trigger! Husband travels a lot

And I never thought I'd want a gun. My ex had 2 and when I got pregnant with our son, I made him get rid of them.

I'm proud of you for taking your safety so seriously and being responsible!

Motivated by sheer terror! Pissed I should have to feel this way in my waning years but most of all sad for children, the disenfranchised, our beautiful country, democracy, thanks for listening

I completely understand. WTF but yeah.

Hi, Christine. Unsolicited Advice: If you are going to invest in a handgun, go to the range regularly so you can get better and more comfortable with it. You don't wanna miss when it starts.

Thank you it’s appreciated! I took course last Saturday and was not happy with it, but they talked about muscle memory and practice, went to a gun shop today. Bought the gun going to take a course with that guy next week. He also talked about importance of muscle memory and practice.
