Early the next morning, Owen asked his mother and Amanda to take leave.

What happened last night had a great impact on Owen. He is different now from when he was a policeman. The people he offended were all terrorists. Those are guys who kill without batting an eye. They don't even care about their own lives, let alone the lives of others.

.

It was their luck last night. When the killer came, their mother and Amanda hadn't arrived home yet. Later, Mr. McCall silently solved the problem for them.

But good luck will not always favor them, so Irving decided to strengthen his family's ability to protect themselves. In the United States, the most direct way is to buy a gun.

The United States is a country that does not ban guns and owns 40% of the world's total guns. Most Americans believe that guns can bring them a sense of security.

The United States is also the country with the largest number of guns per capita in the world. Every 100 Americans own 121 guns, which means that every family owns at least two guns.

Even in California, which has the strictest gun control laws in the United States, buying a gun is not difficult.

In the United States, there are as many as 55,000 licensed gun shops or sellers, including physical stores and online stores, and there are more than 8,000 pawn shops licensed to sell guns.

There are just over 14,000 McDonald's restaurants in the United States. It can be said that it is easier to buy a gun than a hamburger in the United States.

Around ten o'clock in the morning, Owen drove his mother and Amanda to a nearby gun store.

Although there are guns for sale in supermarkets, Owen's main purpose today is not to buy guns, but to let his mother and Amanda get used to guns, so he specially chose a gun store with a shooting range.

When you enter the gun store, you can see a shelf with various long guns and short cannons on it. Some are directly exposed to the air, while others are packed in exquisite packaging boxes and can be given as gifts. I have to say

, guns have completely different meanings in the United States than in other countries.

There are also some long guns hanging on the surrounding walls. AK series, AR series, HK series, and common assault rifles on the market can basically be found here.

Owen noticed a bearded man behind the counter applying gun oil to a Remington. He was the only employee in this store, so he seemed to be the boss.

Owen walked over, and there was also a row of long guns standing on the wall behind the counter, but they were all shotguns, Remington M870, UTS, Winchester M1887, SPAS-15, almost all the famous shotguns in the world.

All.

Seeing Irving coming, the bearded man put down the shotgun in his hand and came up to him: "Man, what kind of guy do you want? Tell me what you think, and I can recommend it to you..."

"Pistol, I want to buy a pistol, preferably one suitable for women."

Owen said, pointing to his mother and Amanda who were holding out their hands.

"clear."

The bearded man nodded. There are many American women who buy guns for self-defense. The bearded man lowered his head and searched around the counter for a while. The items on the counter were basically pistols and bullets. Amanda looked at them with relish.

"How about this one?"

Amanda quickly picked one she liked, which was a Beretta 92F with a silver-white gun body. It looked very beautiful, but it was not suitable for her to use.

Owen rejected her outright. As expected, she was a woman. Choosing a gun was like choosing clothes. She only cared about whether it looked good or not, and didn't consider practicality at all.

The Beretta 92F is as big as it is. It is obviously designed for men. It is beautiful. If it is really used, she probably won't be able to hold the handle firmly.

Amanda curled her lips, and Owen ignored her. If she really bought this, it would be better to just use the P226 he had at home, which was his previous collection. However, the gun was too heavy and it was difficult for them to hold it, so they considered giving it to them.

They buy a new gun.

"If it is used by two ladies, I recommend these two."

The bearded man walked around behind the counter and finally came over with two pistols. Both pistols were black and matte-finished. They looked very compact and were obviously designed for women.

The bearded man put the two guns on the counter and let Irving and the others play with them. Then he pointed at the one in Irving's hand and said, "This is the Austrian Glock 43. This pistol is very safe. Many police officers use it as a backup."

The pistol fires 9mm Parabellum ammunition, feeds ammunition in a single row, has a ammunition capacity of 6 rounds, and the empty gun only weighs more than 500 grams, which can be said to be very suitable..."

Owen nodded, and after hearing Big Beard's words, he pulled out the magazine and took a look. The gun was very light. Amanda and the others would have no problem holding it. The only drawback was that the 6-round magazine capacity was too small, which was a bit insufficient.

.

The bearded man saw that Owen had set his sights on the other gun, and then introduced: "This is the Ruger LC9s, an American gun. It is lighter than the Glock just now, only 498 grams. It is specially designed for women. It is also

Fires 9mm Parabellum rounds.

The trigger force of this gun is very small, making it effortless for women to use it, and the trigger stroke is short. In addition to the standard 6-round magazine, there is also an extended 8-round magazine available. And this gun now has activities

, when you buy a gun, you get a laser sight and an extended magazine.”

Owen looked at the gun and suddenly remembered an idea.

This is a popular saying in the United States. Generally speaking, Smith and Wesson is the first choice when buying revolvers, while Ruger is the first choice for automatic guns. Just like in his previous life, it was said that buying a bicycle will bring eternal life, and a pressure cooker will bring double happiness.

Although there are several excellent brands besides Ruger, the preconceived way of thinking cannot be changed. Whenever most ordinary Americans think of buying a gun, they will either buy a Smith & Wesson revolver or a Ruger semi-automatic.

Amanda's eyes grew brighter as she listened beside her. Buying a gun also came with a magazine and a sight. No matter how you heard it, it seemed like a good deal. Owen didn't care about this, but he was quite satisfied with the 8-round extended magazine.

Owen tried the trigger and rear sight again. As expected, as Big Beard said, the trigger was very light and could be pressed with almost no effort. It was indeed very suitable for girls.

"How much does this gun cost?"

"For $450, I can give you a soft holster if you want."

"OK, that's it. Get me two more boxes of ammunition."

Owen made a decision very readily. To be honest, this gun is actually not cheap. Ordinary pistols on the market only cost about two to three hundred dollars. However, this gun is specially designed for women. It is a niche product. It is normal for it to be more expensive, not to mention the price.

A lot of things were given away.

"Okay, I'll find you a gun case to put it in. Also, please show me your ID."

Big Beard was very happy to have made a deal, but everything still had to be in accordance with regulations. Irving handed over his passport, and Big Beard entered the passport information into the FBI website for a background check.

In the United States, buying a gun is very simple. As long as you are an American citizen and you like a gun, the store will submit your passport information to the FBI website for a background check. The FBI will check the gun buyer's background, criminal record, and mental illness.

Check the history and other information. If there is no problem, it usually only takes a few minutes to pass the investigation. At this time, the gun buyer only needs to pay the money, and the gun is yours.

There is naturally no problem with Owen's background, otherwise he would not have his own P226. Sure enough, after a while, the word "passed" came back on the computer.

"Okay, this gun is yours now. You can take it to the underground shooting range to try it out. I will give you a box of bullets personally..."

Owen expressed his thanks, and Amanda picked up the gun and rushed to the shooting range downstairs without him saying anything, with her mother and Owen following behind.
