Sorry ahead of time for being a but if a buzzkill but safety is very important and should not be taken lightly.

Noticed a fair few folks making posts that leave serial numbers visible, and also a decent amount of selfies, both of which can very much be a dangerous thing to do, particularly as part of a targeted minority, and especially if you make your location known, and more so with the current political climate in the US.

Serial numbers visible can make it very easy for a bad actor to report that your gun was stolen from them, and with cops, particularly in the US, that alone can be a death sentence reguardless of the facts.

As for selfies not saying to never do selfies but please do be aware it can be dangerous and generally a bad idea to advertise your face, that you are trans and the fact you have firearms, to a political administration that doesn't want you to exist and is happy to find excuses to target you.

Ultimately I would advise for safety to cover you face with a bandana if you must have your face in a post, and to always covor up your serual numbers while posting a picture where it would be visible in any way, even if its blurry.

A place for all to discuss defense, weapons, strategy, and related topics, especially in relation to the Igbt community and our allies

The best option for a defensive firearms is a 5.56x45mm AR-15, 12gauge Remington 870 shotgun, and a reputable 9x19mm handgun.

Defensive firearms should have a WML, long guns a sling, and handguns require a Kydex or solid plastic holster that fully covers the trigger.

A red dot or etched optic is ideal, but backup irons are important as well! Be sure to check out r/TheArmedGayAgenda
