I'm not an expert, but this is something I've been doing too. I bought a shotgun a few months ago. And now I am looking into getting my CCW permit so that I am more comfortable with transporting a pistol. If you're going to be transporting a pistol around, look up laws in your state about the transportation of a firearm. Does your state allow open carry, etc. You don't want to get stuck in a bad position illegally carrying/transporting a firearm. But I'm also going to have to travel more with my pistol, which is why I'd be more comfortable with the CCW permit. But that's just me.

Things I purchased for my shotgun. I've bought a safe with quick access, ammo cans containers and dehumidifying gel silica packets for shotgun shells, gun cleaning kit, ear protection for practicing, gun case for transporting, 12 gauge #4 buckshot & lead and steel target loads. For within my safe I also bought a dehumidifying canister. Which is just something that you recharge by throwing in the oven every 6 months. This will keep your guns dry and prevent issues in the future, depending on where you're storing the safe and where you live etc. (I don't think I missed anything)

As for buying the shotgun, super easy. I bought it for self defense and maybe trap shooting. Took maybe an hour or two to walk out with a shotgun. I got a good deal on a Benelli nova for only 300 dollars. Pump action, simple.

But I've been looking at pistols for the past 3 months, and it looks like decent reliable ones are around 4-500 dollars. I've been looking specifically at getting a Glock. Since my pistol would also be for self defense, I want something reliable. I've learned really any of the generations of glocks are the same with minimal changes. Whatever is cheapest is the best one to pick.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Elon doesn't have a box shaped body in this. That's how I can tell it's fake.

Ain't that the truth. Haha, greetings from America. At this point I'm looking at options of what to do. So this definitely helps.

Greetings from a shithole country. Haha

I can't believe I paid for US Bank Stadium when I was living downtown Minneapolis. Fucking criminal.

Does Europe need IT workers? Software engineers?

Consumers sharply curtailed their spending in January, indicating a potential weakening in economic growth ahead

You don't say? Have you looked around?!

Then another person later on in the article:

The drop was dramatic, but several mitigating factors show there’s no cause for alarm.

And they go on to say it could be factors like the weather and auto dealerships. They're so far removed from reality. They think people are just going to keep spending on non essentials forever?

Aside from the ones already said in this thread. What's the one where they get launched into a forest with the magic conch shell? Probably that one. Or the box episode. There's too many good ones. Shit, I forgot about the one when Mr Krabs kills the health inspector.

If there are no consequences ever. Yes, he can do what he wants. Which, look around.

Absolutely hated the psychopathic children in the school episode. I went back to rewatch it. And it completely lost me there.

Also, how absolutely brain dead some of the characters are when trying to survive. I get it, you're in a panic due to being chased by a zombie. But sometimes man..... Some of the things they do is absolutely mind numbing. It's like a majority of the characters are complete bumbling idiots.

In general, I enjoyed it. But at times I was beating my head against a wall.

I volunteer Minnesota as well.
