I am considering purchasing a handgun for hobby (friend took me to a range a while ago and I really liked it and would like to shoot more)/self defense but would frankly be extremely uncomfortable going to any buisness that is super conservative or maga, which I sort of figure most gun related buisnesses are (i mean, i could be wrong, it is a recent interest of mine so i know very little about the culture)

Really I am just looking for any gun stores/ranges that would be welcoming to a very obviously queer person. I just want to feel safe wherever I go. If the honest answer is that there are none then I'll probably just go with a few friends that are more "normie passing" lol

Edit because a lot of people misunderstand. I am not incapable or unwilling to interact with people who do not agree with me politically. I just personally prefer to give my money to businesses that do not support ideology that harms me.

I'm a learn on the job tech. I've been working full time for around three months at a high volume spay/neuter clinic (80-100 surgeries per day) and i think i just can't keep up anymore. I'm trained in anesthesia, recovery, and prep. I think i do well in anesthesia, but I struggle physically in recovery due to having to do so much bending/kneeling (I have joint and nerve issues due to a car accident years ago), and no matter how hard i try and how fast i go i cannot get my average prep time shorter than 10-15 minutes per animal, and if i have to do a ton of services like vaccines and microchips it will sometimes take me 20. I feel like at this point i dont add anything of value to the team, and I'm getting really burnt out. I don't think i am sharp minded enough to work in this industry. I can't learn fast enough, and i cant keep information in my head well enough. I have felt like such an idiot so many times and i don't know if i want to continue. However there are so many parts of the job i absolutely love and i also know that making the choice to leave would be absolutely heartbreaking. I really don't know what to do.

Look I understand this is going to be a niche peeve but it pisses me off so incredibly bad. I'm an actual larper. I have been larping for half my life. Believe it or not, Larp has real culture and community behind it and using the term incorrectly just sits so incredibly wrong with me. Larp means LIVE ACTION ROLE PLAY. It describes a system of gaming. Pretending to like something for clout IS NOT LARPING. Putting on a persona at work to get through your day IS NOT LARPING.

If you are not putting on a costume and a character in order to participate in a SPECIFIC GAME SYSTEM, YOU ARE NOT LARPING!!!!!!!! Shut the fuck up and find a different word, because you aren't using this one right.
