Nerf garand

I want a gun

gotta leave C0|\/||\/|!3F0|2|\|14 first

oof formatting fail

I need a gun, to keep myself from harm🎵

My garand is a nice novelty, but I don't think I could recommend one

garand in 458 socom

That’s one of the guns I would actually like for a novelty though

what's a good recommendation for a noob?

rifle or sidearm @Clive ?

Beat me to it

Maybe one of those $500 PSA ar-15s

no prefernce currently, rifle would be esaier to sell my wife on

I would actually want one of the "newer" Garands. Like a .308

Oh that got spaced out, weird

^^^

@Clive I'd recommend ether building from Palmetto State Armory or buying a Smith and Wesson AR

for a first rifle

I think that's just called an M14 @Beemann 😉

I would start with a handgun. You can take those more places

^^^

i wouldn't take it anywhere until I was trained and proficient with it

and there are *tons* of good, affordable choices in the handgun market

There's also an M14, but there were specifically garands rechambered with the newer standardized round

yeah i dont think my wife will fly with that

with a handgun

Shotgun?

Most gun ranges you can find are indoors and may not allow rifles, I think is what "take it places" means

I'm pretty sure that's the Garand "everyone else" has anyway

Take places is concealed carry

i assumed you meant CCW

Which means I can buy it here in leafland, where it is explicitly allowed, by name

That too

@Clive then I recommend an affordable AR option

If you can conceal carry a AR you have more talent than I

**A**ssault **R**ifle

S&W or PSA are both $450-550 new

Armalite

15 bullets per sec?

It's fairly easy to convert a garand to 308, just a barrel swap and optionally a clip spacer so you don't accidentally load the normal ammo
