She recently moved to LA. About 5 months ago. She laughed at me when I told her she's making a mistake and that she should stay close to family here in MA (not that we are that much better than California).
Now her brothers are all pretty based patriots as is her father. Her mother is old school non-feminist type. Unfortunately for her, the school system turned her into a leftist during her teenage years.
She drove to NYC to attend BLM rallies and everything. Was right in the middle of the riots in Brooklyn recording everything.
She's no rioter herself and she's a soft little white girl but up until recently, she thought she was some sort of freedom fighter.
Anyway, she gets to LA and at first was sending me all these beautiful pictures of the landscape as she went to trips in the hills and ocean views etc.
But recently, she's been telling me about how bad crime is and she doesn't feel safe at night walking around. How it's filthy and how she's seen bums take a shit right across her street.
She lives just outside of downtown LA in some gentrified hipster area that up until prior to covid was apparently really nice and clean. But now, it's being overrun by homelessness and degeneracy.
So she calls me last night asking me how she can purchase guns in LA quietly. Now I have no fucking clue how so I told her to google it and suggested she get out of LA and find a gun dealer in a based red area to help her out with an AR15 she can use.
She then went on a rant about how disgusting everything and everyone is and how she can't wait for her contract at work to be done so she can, and I quote, "escape this fucking hell hole".
I assume she's gonna come back based af lol
A non gun owner might be best served with a good revolver or double barrel shotgun with 18 inch barrels....
I actually suggested that. Told her about the Maverick 500. Only problem is the polymer but it's not like she's gonna go wild with it.
Regular smith and Wesson. 38 with plus p ammo. Is what I would recommend. Revolvers are the safest and easiest to use.
Revolvers aren’t safer than auto pistols. Now I don’t buy guns with safety mechanisms in mind, it’s why I roll Glock mostly. But at least there is a safety lock in the trigger. Just a tiny lever. Revolvers are zero on safety. Well, other than finger off the trigger. I personally have a sp101 Ruger .357/.38 revolver. It’s a brick. But I carry the glock(s). Easier.
Revolver are much safer for non gun people to use. If you pick it up you can see if it's loaded,and they don't have or need any safety,safties and de-cocking levers make the gun unusable in an emergency. To people who don't train with their weapons... the learning curve on using a revolver is much smaller.
Point and pull the trigger,that all they need to know.
