should i get a rifle or a handgun? i like the idea of a rifle better but i know it would be more expensive
>>30543098
Probably a rifle.
I think the first thing you should do is find a gun range near you that offers rentals, and try some of the guns out so you have a better idea of how various types operate and what appeals to you the most.
>>30543118
Thats a good idea. Do you have any favorites/recommendations?
>>30543140

black people are not going to start a race war. chill out. you should buy a gun anyway because you never know when you might need one. a good entry level AR-15 will cost about $650 but a shotgun probably do just as well for $250
>>30543140
AR15 is the standard.
Might try a lighter carbine chambered in 9mm, those are easy to control and best at short ranges like you'd be dealing with.
>>30543140
The go-to beginner rifle these days is a Savage Axis in .308 with iron sights.
Don't bother with getting a .22 first, it's not any good for self-protection and the ammo is still hard to find.
Or do this

Basic 500 will do
Get a heat shield and a bandolier
>>30543284
>heat shield
whats that?
>>30543301
The shoulder thing that goes up
>>30543002
I'd sell you one cheap but
1. I'm across the river in Windsor, Canada.
2. all my stuff would be an NFA item in the USA due to barrel length.
Sorry famalam.
>>30543301
Ported sheet metal that covers the barrel so you don't burn the fuck out of your hands after a shitton of shells
Also it looks cool as fuck
Get a benelli m4. Then get a mag tube extension.
Or just a Mossberg 500 or 590 with a mag tube extension and super sweet tactical stock bruh
>>30543380
is that one?
>>30543301
Protects your hand if you are shooting lots, the barrel gets hot and your pump hand is right next to it. Certain misguided politicians have banned or tried to ban them because they look badass (pic related).
A bandolier is like a sling that can hold ammo. It's not the best/fastest solution to get ammo into your gun but it guarantees that you'll always have ammo with you since it's attached to the shotgun. Other solutions (velcro cards, belt holster, etc.) might not get grabbed in a stressful situation and nothing's worse than an empty gun.

I support these anons, either is fine. Or a remington 870, look at them and choose one, they all will perform.

>Buy whatever length shell the barrel is marked for
>Buy 00 shells for the bad guys
>practice loading and unloading it, a lot. Get fast.
>in terms for newbies, the longer barreled versions are typically for bird hunting and hold a tighter pattern. If the clerk is knowledgeable, you can ask what a shotgun choke is. Buy whichever.
also
>rule 1) never point barrel at a person unless it's person you will kill. Always watch where that barrel is pointing. Get autistic about it.
>rule 2) finger out of the trigger guard until you have aimed or you will probably accident.

shotgun
rifle
handguns(in a private sale, its a weird stipulation)
>>30543420
ye, it's that part above the pump with the holes in it. The barrel is inside of it, all it does is keep your fingers off the barrel while you're pumping.

If he can afford a Benelli M4 at age 18, fucking cool. I'm 30 and I can't justify the price, even though they are the best money can buy.
>not SBSing it instead of extending the mag, pic related
>>30543465
It also protects your hand from the heat while reloading
Op, a pistol is extremely useful if you can get a carry permit. It'll be on your person on a regular basis and therefore by far the most likely to actually get you out of a jam (assuming your primary lines of defense: situational awareness/tactical planning/de-escalation fail).
For HD a shotgun is fine. Inexpensive, easy to use and extremely powerful. Excellent area denial weapon. It doesn't stack up against a modern self loading rifle for SHTF though, since a rifle also works at much longer ranges.
That said, each level is increasingly less likely to happen and increasingly more likely to kill you regardless of your equipment. A simple handgun will provide 90% of your defense needs, the rest is just nice to have.
No justice no peace

not OP
I live in california
I will never get a CCW
>>30543790
Where in California? Certain counties will issue seeing as it's up to the sheriff to approve or deny the applications. So in say L.A., good luck if you aren't friends with him, but go up to Shasta county, and the sheriff hands them out to anyone that meets the requirements.

I live in Stanislaus County
I dont really NEED one per se, but with all that is happening (and the fact that I live in Modesto which I feel is getting more crime infested daily)
>>30543470
Haha wtf. That looks like a midget gun...
I'd rather have it full length with mag extension

Walk in with valid ID, you fill out a couple forms, I run a background check, if you're cleared, you're good to go. Pistols need to be registered, long guns don't.
