    Neither is raging hordes of looters, arsonists and murderers.

    None in rural Idaho either. No one would know if there were though. We have tractors.

    Funny thing is as Conservative as I am I don’t have a single gun...and not too worried to get one anytime soon. Almost every one of my neighbors is armed enough to support a small militia and there are a lot of houses between me and the neighborhood’s access roads.

    That's not that easy of a question. Look for a range near you that rents guns. Go try several. Fit and feel are important. Once you decide on one get some training. Get something of decent quality. Nothing less than 9mm and I don't like it much bit it has its uses.

    PM me if need questions answered.

    Near term, tactical shotgun. If you can find one right now. Then go to a range that does rentals and try out 9MM pistols, Glock, Sig, H&K, etc.

    Most reliable and easy to use is a .38 caliber revolver.

    CZ 75 is my favorite basic 9mm pistol

    One of the best. You can carry it cocked and locked with no dingleberry hammer dropper thingy.

    Not popular but Berretta 40, IMO.

    Or better, Benelli shotgun.


    How fast and what do you want to disperse...

    This is it on a big scale.

    This is by far the best intro video for you...

    Guns are a lot like fishing, everyone is going to have an overly strong opinion on what is best. Boomer types will swear by old, tried and true, but possibly inferior technology. Zoomer types will swear by the cool new technology and and calibers.

    I wrote a post outlining gun ranges for newbies on the wam, if people want it here I can repost it.

    Personally:

    Pump Shotguns and revolvers, while easy to understand are poor in practice for newbies, they have limited capacity and require manipulation before firing, terrible choice for a newbie actually in a self/home defense situation.

    Get a common modern caliber; 9mm, 12 gauge, 5.56, .223

    You aren’t experienced enough to ccw, if you are getting a pistol get a full size frame.

    An AR style firearm is by far not only the most intuitive to use they are the easiest to be accurate with and are cheap to buy and practice with.


    Canik is by far the best cheap entry level handgun for the money.

    There is nothing "new" in firearms. Just rehashes of old stuff that can be done better with modern manufacturing. Haven't tried a Canik. The problem with new imports and companies is support down the road. I'd recommend name brands that have established support infrastructure and will be around a while.

    I'm a boomer. They have not and may never make anything better than a 1911. It doesn't even have an equal.

    That's how it is at my E WA place. Loaded guns everywhere, and nobody ever gets shot. Amazing what competent, careful people can achieve even after downing a twacker of Rainier or Keystone Light.
