What guns would a time traveler bring ?

Hell there,

My project is about a time cop unit, that would send teams in time to either observe, or fix issues.

Those are not soldiers, their goal is not to fight wars or kill people, so their guns would only be for self defense. I'm thinking, one long-gun and one handgun.

So, the most obvious choice would be either an AR15 or an AK74, a 9mm semiautomatic, and a few magazines for each.

Knowing that you could use any exotic weapon or ammunition, what to you think would be better for someone that could be thrown into the Roman Empire, the 30-year war or the US Civil War?

"This was the last time, you promise ?" asked my daughter with tired but hopeful eyes as the doctor removed the IV from her arm.

I nodded with a smile, trying to hide my anguish that she'll never get to ring that bell.

Being able to read minds had been a blessing until I went to jail.

I haven't been able to sleep, knowing how many people secretly want to kill me.

How easy is it to get prescribed Ritalin in the USA ?

Tl;dr : how hard is it to get prescribed ritalin as an adult in the USA?

I'm French, and my wife just got prescribed Rita for her ADHD. She had to jump through SOOOOOO many hoops : a regular psychiatrist had to refer her to a specialised psychiatrist, who made her fill a questionnaire. The questionnaire and the discussions made it so obvious she suffered from ADHD (history of depression, several burnout, and tons of other stuffa), that she got to skip the neuropsychiatrist step. But before getting her prescription, she needed two visits to a cardiologist to see if her heart could handle it, and had to have bloodwork done.

So, by comparison, how different is it in the USA, because tv shows made it look like a simple GP visit is enough.

When Death answered my call, I told her I wanted to die the same way my vanished daughter did, and she accepted.

My ex-wife appeared in front of me, knife in her hand and murder in her eyes.

My wife called me at work to tell me that our son said "Dad" for the first time.

She gleefully laughed when I started crying, knowing that this word was for her new husband.

When I was an army brat, the sight of two uniformed officers driving down our street would fill the air with dread.

I felt an intoxicating sense of relief the day they stopped at our doorstep.

When Sarah was 30 minutes late from school, her mother was ready to call the cops.

But she did not need to bother, there were already a pair of them knocking at the door, without her daughter.

"I love you, mom." I said as I cuddled against her.

I had waited until the bottle fell off the couch to be sure she was fully asleep, this time.

They say the worst thing for a parent is to watch your child die.

No, the worst is to not get there in time to say goodbye, and knowing she was all alone in that moment.
