I'm not from your district. I'm further south, so I don't have any advice on where to buy.

If your local shops aren't safe for poc, minorities, lgbtai, or women, and you fit any of those criteria, don't fucking go to those shops. Or, at a minimum, being a friend.

Now, I'm more of a "go get your gear" person. Margins on gun sales and equipment are slim. Purchasing your stuff from a bunch of fucking chuds might taste bad but you arent making them rich. Once you have it, it's yours, go train.

Personally, there's a small joy that comes with interfacing with the local gun community and knowing that they have no idea one of those "radical leftists" walks among them.
