I don’t really like glocks, got my eyes on a Sig P239 Enhanced Elite 9mm, but also kinda like the Berettas for not being a burgerland company, any other brands I should be looking at, whats the least chuddiest company, I looked at the HK site and my god, they have American flags everywhere and MAGA sales.
ETA: Im in ‘Commiefornia’ so any gun suggestions should be able to be sold here.
All gun manufacturers are MIC fascists. Get a gun that works for you. There aren’t any guns with good politics.
For home defense skip the gun and get one of those giant 24oz canisters of pepper spray. You’re much more likely to hurt yourself or someone else with a “home defense” gun than you ever are to stop a burglar. Pepper spray has a large number of advantages - You don’t have to aim much, if you’re wrong then someone is very upset at you and not dead, it’s easy to use. Another big thing - Psychologically most people don’t want to shoot an intruder. They want to scare them, tell them to leave, make them go away. Folks often don’t shoot, which means now there’s a loaded weapon in the situation that could be used against you, or whatever. You don’t have to worry about that with pepper spray. If someone’s in your house spray them down like it’s a wet-t-shirt-contest of pain. No one’s gonna die, or even really be injured, and while they might want to die now they’ll be fine in a day or two.
Probably less legal bullshit to worry about, too, but I have no idea what self defense laws are in california. But generally speaking not killing people and not leaving permanent injuries is better, legally.
If you do want a gun, cali has a list of which guns you’re allowed to own and afaik it’s not a terribly long list, so you’re going to have to start from there.
