This post is primarily for my fellow trans and non-binary comrades. Quite frankly, I'm fucking tired of seeing news reports of my sisters being murdered in cold blood for nothing more than being trans and the time for us to arm ourselves is long overdue. But this post can also be used by any person here who doesn't currently own a firearm and maybe doesn't know where to start with purchasing/building one or isn't educated on their particular state's firearm and concealed carry laws. By the end of this post, you should have the information you need to get started.

The first link of each state is literally the exact same website, but I saved you damn liberals the time and strenuous effort of having to find your state on the map and click it by straight up linking you to your state's gun laws summary page in particular. You're welcome. The summary pages do a phenomenal job of linking to .gov websites for laws pertaining to gun ownership and any forms necessary in acquiring a concealed carry permit, therefore providing direct links to government resources is redundant. The summary pages should provide you with a solid foundation to self-research any questions you may have. Included are also a few links to gun related forums/classifieds dedicated to your state.

When visiting any of the forum links, keep in mind that most of these places will be filled with more right-leaning people. However, in my experience with right-leaning gun enthusiasts out in the wild, they are more than helpful and respectful in helping you arm yourself if you just keep politics out of the discussion. They care more about the fact that you want to exercise your 2A rights than about who you are as a person or what you're about politically. Just saying.
