Buying a handgun is easy. Being a responsible gun owner is the hard part. Take a class. Practice at a range. Teach yourself not to point it at things you don’t want to destroy. And for the love of all that is holy, don’t post photos of it on Instagram captioned “ready for anything.” You’ll look like a try-hard.
Now go forth, Iowan. Get your permit. Find your perfect piece. And remember: the raccoons don’t stand a chance. You’ve got this.
