Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Yeah I'm learning to properly carry before I publicly present. Fuck that shit.
I hope you can eventually live somewhere safer where that doesn't have to be a consideration <3 🏳️⚧️
r/liberalgunowners r/socialistRA
Maybe you can find left friendly places to train through those communities
I didn't get what she meant with "carry"
This comment is too american for me to understand lol
*She, sweety 💅
he as in "der Staatsbürger"
but I guess now I am too european for an american to understand lol
anyways, since it seems to be important to you I edited it either way
I love how adding violence will help with your safety. You could be the first case ever.
The only promise of protection you get in this world is porpotional to the amount of violence you are known to be capable of, and sometimes not even then. Protect yourselves, we aren't out of the dark ages yet.
That's very American. How's that working out?
You're not out of the dark ages, you quivering shitebag lol
Yeah I'm trying to build my body to be cute and fuckable, not combat ready.
Until cis men get their shit together, you can eat my ass about being a quivering shitbag.
I'll add someone to the daily list of 132 people that die by gunshot in the US, if it means I don't have to double down on being a part of the nearly quarter of women who have been sexually assaulted.
You go girl.
Make sure you know your local and state laws for de-escalation and use of deadly force, Stand your ground laws and such.
After that, train. The last thing you want is to flub up something in a high pressure situation. It needs to be second nature to be effective.
That's my most general advice.
Beyond that, you'll find everyone has an opinion about carry options
An everyday carry gun should be reliable and comfortable.
*Gun not fun lmao
Education is a big one to me. Through a series of unfortunate events I've become the owner of a number of guns, but I haven't done much other than make sure they're all unloaded and locked up in the safe.
I gotta figure out some local classes or something, the base NRA one my state reqs is shit, and even if it wasn't, was taught by some boomer who shouldn't have guns.
Not only did he sweep me with a barrel several times, he somehow had multiple stories of him needing his gun in defense. Except he didn't because he never used it other than to scare people. Also literally every story about it started with a phrase to the effect of: "so there was this black guy..."
I really don't want to be one of those cock-knockers who walks around being a danger to themselves and others for an ego trip.
You added much to this conversation. Thank you for this quintessential insight into why my position is correct.
