Last weekend my Mom came into town and she insisted that I buy a gun because of the instability of the economy and politics in our country. I had been meaning to get one since I moved to Texas, but just never got around to it......well it was time!
We went to Academy Sports and a super awesome guy named Frank showed us various guns and all of the features of each one. He answered my 500 questions with a smile and was very helpful. He found the perfect gun for me - a Ruger 380 semi-automatic pistol! Here it is:
The clip holds 6 bullets, so if I ever have an intruder come into my house, they will be met with 6 hollow point bullets (shown below):
I guess they really pack a punch because they mushroom out into a bigger area once they hit their target. Good - efficient, I like that!
I feel much more empowered and safe now - my new gun is loaded (I loaded it myself!) and ready to go if I need it. Now I just need to go to a gun range and practice with it so that I'm comfortable using it.
Hurray for the 2nd Amendment!

Pretty sure when Jason gets back from Reno we will be going gun shopping for me as well. I know he wants me to have one while he is deployed. I'll have to show him your post, looks like one I could handle too.
