Why the Gun IS Civilization

Short and sweet.

Awesome, someone who freakin' gets it. I think I have the worse of all his scenarios, a transgendered, bisexual, tiny, fragile cripple with a very bad heart among other disabilities.

Nate wants to get me a gun, and he will once it's in the budget, but even he thinks it'll be hard to find something I can handle easily (which includes firing, loading and cleaning). He's determined to find something for me though, and then to help me learn how to use it properly so he doesn't have to worry any more when I have to be out and about without him.

Thankfully my others and I are finally getting over our fear of guns. I just wish it hadn't taken us so damn long. You did help us start to get over our fear though, just we didn't realize it at the time. *hugs* Thank you.

I suggest the best thing you can do is go to a good dealership with an indoor range, and tell them you're looking for something that YOU can use as effective self-defense. Do NOT let them talk you into buying a "dainty" gun, but take the largest, most reliable gun you can safely and comfortably handle. Given your size, I suggest something in 9mm, with either Glasers or Golden Sabers as ammunition, but with cheap FMJ ammo for practicing with.

Ok, thanks. Luckily I'll have Nate with me when we do go gun shopping so he'll be sure I don't get treated girly and get some sissy, weak excuse for a gun.

As far as getting bullets, I feel lucky that I can get them at any Longs Drugs or K-Mart store.

That's good luck, all right. Whatever you do, do NOT buy them at Walmart. Walmart videotapes every customer who buys a gun OR ammunition.
