Never wanted to have a gun in the house until this month. Now it’s all I think about for the next large purchase I need to make. I’m not looking forward to the shopping experience.
I’d recommend a shotgun as your first / home defense weapon. I went with a KSG because it’s kinda absurdist. You’ll need a rifle too so I’d look at an AR-15 or AK47 but I lean AR since parts are probably available for it next door to where you are.
Agreed. Get one that bolts to the floor if you’re in a place where you can bolt things to the floor. Don’t settle for a Pelican case or a lockbox, those don’t deter theft, it just makes it so you’re out a gun and a lockbox.

I went through this about 3 years ago.

I carry an Sig P365XL as my daily.
KSG kicks hard because it is lignt, but is pretty easy to learn on. I prefer a Mossburg 590 or a Remington 870 as an introduction shotgun.
Whatever you spend on a gun, spend just as much on ammuntion, find a place, and practice.
As long as you don’t have a common name, the buying process will be as simple as showing some ID and paying like you would for any other purchase.
Buy a good safe at the same time. Do not put that off.

Its not bad at all.
