Keep it civil.

Hey everyone,

I'm in the process of buying my first handgun for home defense.
What are some things you would recommend I purchase to complement the gun in terms of maintenance, storage, and other must-haves or even nice-to-haves?

Already on my list is a carrying case, fire-proof safe, dummy rounds for dry-fire practice, and a good pair of ear plugs for the range. Not sure if I should throw in a speed-loader with that or not. I feel like I'm missing some stuff, hence this post.

For the future, I plan to build the gun out. I have already decided on purchasing an optics-ready pistol, so I can throw a red-dot on it down the line, and also a light.

Looking forward to your responses, cheers!

I require a citation before blindly believing this claim?

I see, that is a no then, you don't have anything meaningful to add.

Sure I could spend the next hour double checking my sources, but I am sure that no amount of evidence would satisfy you.

If you would like to make a counter point you are more than welcome to. Though I do expect it with citations (in-text) APA or MLA, APA preferred.

Well I usually just send a link to a supporting article when asked rather than pretending that people aren't willing to lie on the internet. But you do you.
