^^^I think RocketMan has a very good point. My wife and I are in the education and healthcare communities, respectively, and those groups probably tend to have a lower rate of firearm ownership and higher rates of Democratic leanings than other occupational groups. A relatively small number of our friends and work acquaintances know that I own firearms, and I have been surprised to see how many people have reached out to me in recent months for firearms-buying advice. It is more a reaction to recent civil unrest and police response than any changes in their politics, in my view.
PS: Just in case the Collective disagrees with me, here is what I typically recommend, based on whether they lean more toward a revolver or semi-auto for both home defense and occasional carry:
Revolver: 3-4 inch stainless .357 double-action Ruger, S&W or Colt revolver
Semi-auto: Glock 19 or S&W M&P 2.0 Compact with a minimum of four magazines
Lately, it has depended on availability, but from what I hear back anecdotally, the majority of people are ending up with a Glock 19. I am not sure if that is due to availability, pricing, or both. Most of these people make good salaries, so pricing may not be the most important consideration
