Yes I would. 9mm is a very good choice. If you are on a budget the Hi Point C9 is a good serviceable pistol and it works. Don’t let the gun snobs call you off of it. It might weigh as much as a brick but it will run any ammo you put in it. If you need a shotgun a 12 gauge is great. I have a Remington 870 that I got cheap and I suggest getting a slug barrel for it if you can. I have a lot of guns and I love my old double barrels but when Trump won I bought my first AR. It make me sick to my stomach because of the reason I was buying it. I bought because not only am I familiar with the platform but I know there are a shit ton of accessories if I need them.
I bought my rifle on election day between Biden and Trump because I was worried about a second Trump term. I had a modicum of firearm familiarity at that point, knew safety and self defense primarily. Operation was general knowledge. The AR-15 platform has endless resources online on how to use it, issues you might run into, care, modifications. I don’t know how great it’d be for a first time firearm owner but it was easy for me to find resources and learn. I just need more range time but I operate in Trumpistan so I get nervous.
Yeah I am here in WNC where we have been gerrymandered into MAGA. I have Tim Moore. To the north of me is Virginia Fox and to the west of Chuck Edwards. Outside of Asheville, Boone, and Gastonia it is a sea of red hats and meth. I was born here and when I was a kid we had Democratic reps until Heath Shuler quit. These hill are full of bible thumpers and hate. It really baffles me. Hillbillies have been “othered” since the start of this country but yet they do not see the need to reach out to the black people that live here or the Cherokee. If we all would just come together as Western North Carolinians we could do so much.
