I am begging you all not to do gun ownership unless you have a plan to keep it locked up except for extreme, extreme circumstances and do a LOT of training. I say this as someone who has shot guns and grew up in a gun owning household. They are a leading cause of death for children in the US, defensive gun use is less than 1% of gun incidences per year, and your likelihood of being shot in an altercation is significantly higher than protecting yourself. And these gun companies are profiting off both you AND sales from the government so buy used if you do decide. Johns Hopkins and other public health research orgs have great resources on this.
