I am compelled to add another suggestion when you buy that gun(s). Get training.; it is imperative to understand how to handle a firearm.
Additionally, seriously look at situational training. Learning how to maneuver and operate in gun fights. Most do not sign up for this training, but it is essential.
Call your police station; they may know where to find this training. But, something you may not be aware of, many cops don't like guns and have little training., or don't train at all—a fact few know, but there will be cops who will help you out. Also, gun clubs are a good source of info.

I would love to see hundreds of counties and towns become not just 2nd Amendment sanctuaries but Constitutional republics. Refusing to honor any laws, or mandates not granted the federal government by the Constitution. That would include the Second Amendment and the freedom of assembly the feds have shown they can nullify on a whim to "protect" us from the flu.
Be prepared for economic repercussions. (But they'll hit us there anyhow.)
My Grandfather prayed the Rosary every day for 8 months for my safe delivery. My mother had miscarriage after miscarriage for 10 years and was well into Her 30's before the Dr. told Her if She didn't go on birth control it was going to kill Her. Even doing complete bed rest and mediations She couldn't carry to term. They had to get permission from the bishop, and since it was for the life of the mother, already in Her 30's with other children to look after and not to avoid conception, it was eventually granted. The Dr. gave Her the script and told Her to start the pills at the beginning of her next cycle, which never came. For the delay of waiting for the Bishop, I was already conceived.
This was a problem now, for my grandfather's ill health, who had then recently moved in with them and needed near constant care. They were told to put Him in a nursing home. He was horrified as He knew this was a death sentence. He begged my parents not to abandon Him to a cruel and sure death, and He promised to pray the Rosary every day not only for Her health but for My safe delivery. Considering She had not been able to carry to term for so long, they decided to give up on me, in human terms, and decided their Duty was to me Grandfather. Other than taking the medication, which never worked before with the bed rest, they gave me up for lost, and went on to care for Him and the other children assuming the worst. But my grandfather kept His word, and He prayed the Rosary every day, until I was safely delivered that late winter to the surprise and disbelief of everyone involved in Her medical care. He recovered and went back to living on His own for a good period, but then came back to live with us towards the end.
Valentines' day was the anniversary of His death in 1976. 47 years ago, but sometimes it still feels like yesterday, the time we spent together. May we all grow to appreciate the risks and labors that all of our Ancestors took for us, to bring us to where we are today. Thank you for the article.
Thanks for your timely post, Robert. I do take issue with one statement. “Yes, the gun nuts who work at the shops are annoying and condescending. Just remember that you are the customer.”
Maybe that's common in California, but I didn't see any of this in Texas. I was a total newbie and my local range (Mission Ridge Range & Academy) was staffed with friendly, knowledgable, folks.
Sadly, the country I live in doesn't allow these alleged rights to firearm, but there are other options, which maybe useful:
* Crossbows, which can fire various darts, and some can fire steel balls.
* Standard design slingshots with steel balls; some come with a wrist brace and a sight.
* Compact short tube slingshots, which are small enough to store in a pocket.
* Cans of dark, oil-based, paint mixed with nasty stuff, possibly thinned and put in balloons, to propel at, or drop on, attackers and their vehicles & drones, to cheaply blind them. The mess will likely be hard, unpleasant, and costly to remove. Apparently used in Northern Ireland in the past.
* Some farmers have dumped large volumes of manure in strategic locations to make life unpleasant for authorities. This could also be thrown, fired, or sprayed at attackers.
Low tech disabling solutions like paint and excrement, maybe surprising effective, and reduce the need to use offensive weapons.
DIY offensive weapons are possible, but may not be reliable or safe.
My youngest son surprised me on my birthday by taking me to a gun shop to buy me a rifle for hunting deer and for protection from predators. I was most greatful for his thoughtfulness. We live in Missouri and love it here.
Very well researched and written, practical 2A carry article and your "Primer" article (June 2022) Dr. Yoho.
Yes even though you are relatively new to the 2A "party" you have indeed done your homework , kudos sir!
Just add whenever you are in the position to advise tell them "train! , train ! and more training!" $500 worth of great training beats $5000 in the latest flashy gear everytime!
Stay well & stay safe - God bless you and your family in the most Wondrous Name of our Christ & King : Jesus !
It's so painful to realize that almost everything seemingly leaked is a deliberate limited hangout that's released to distract & put out fires -- or a sign that the corrupt maniacs realize they've been caught with their pants down...and need to 'do SOMETHING.' Anyway, either way, my new axiom is 'Don't trust, and go verify.'
I like your conclusions to pray..and suggest Chronicle 7:14... if my people who are called by my names would humble themselves and pray...and turn from their wicked ways...then I will hear from heaven forgive their sins and heal their land..
if we agree the banks are Luciferan and ultimately they are at the centre of the wheel is driving these things....then going up against them without the help of God, is like Frodo going up against the ring wraths....ie
There are powers at work far greater that the USA government or the WHO... if you can accept that then see that although
there are many fruitful things to do, but none more so that calling on the name of Jesus and I would suggest the Luciferians would fear 80-200 million people who could and would fast and pray like Daniel... far more than those with Guns .. it is a lack of prayer that’s caused the situation we are in..
7 years ago I decided to arm myself and to get my concealed carry license. Our rights - especially this one - need to be exercised otherwise they are purely theoretical. Everyone needs to do this. Stop procrastinating. Get out there and go through the process. Take it a step at a time. It’s an amazing, thought provoking journey. Our founding fathers bequeathed us this right for times such as these.
I'm in Australia, the land of the sheep. We have no Bill of Rights. We do have guns, highly regulated. But - the sheep, the sheep! 95% of the people I talk to are not only buying the narrative, but lock-step headed over the cliff with the rest of the lemmings. It's painful to watch.
Buy a gun...the best advice I have seen in months. We all need defense of some kind against the government who has designs on making more of us non-existent.
Tennessee went Permitless a couple of years ago, we have legislation this year to go Constitutional Carry. I've had a permit since 1997, I'm 74 years old now, and still CCW, I live too close to one of the most anti-gun counties in the State, with the highest crime rate. It is not safe to enter the county unarmed. I may have changed from an automatic to a revolver, as OA and thumb surgery did a number on my right hand, but I still hit center mass. As Mr. Heston said, PRY IT OUT OF MY COLD DEAD HANDS. 2ND AMENDMENT SUPPORTER.

Great advice. As a divorced Woman, I’m responsible for protecting myself and my bird.
And I will.

I’m glad to see I’m in a purple county. Now... more ammo.
