If you have to use any kind of deadly force in self defense, it is always in your best interest to be the first one on the phone with 911. Police aren't known for their critical thinking, so the first story they get is most often they one they are going with until proven otherwise.
If one of the teens had called 911 and said some creepy guy catfished and physically assaulted them first, this story would probably read a lot differently.
Disclaimer: Not victim blaming. More of a PSA. And really one of the very very few times I would recommend calling the police.
It's also illegal to buy. To purchase a firearm from a FFL holder you must fill out ATF form 4473. In which you state that you are not under indictment (among other things). If you lie, that's perjury.
Edit: You also cannot purchase a firearm as an out of state resident. But you can pay for it, have it shipped to a FFL holder in your state, and then purchase it from them. But you still have to fill out the form there. So he probably did actually buy it, and now some Florida gun store owner is going to get to keep it.
As per the most recent 4473 (updated Aug 2023), which you must fill out to purchase a firearm for a dealer, still has the question:
Are you under indictment or information in any court for a felony, or any other crime for which the judge could imprison you for more
than one year, or are you a current member of the military who has been charged with violation(s) of the Uniform Code of Military
Justice and whose charge(s) have been referred to a general court-martial?
And if the person answers "yes" on that question, it will not be accepted. So, presently the ATF either doesn't care, or is waiting on a supreme court ruling.
but less attention has been paid to Trump’s decision to visit Palmetto State Armory, as opposed to any other gun store in South Carolina.
Palmetto State Armory is one of the largest online firearms manufacturer/retailer in the nation, much less South Carolina. And they produce all kinds of tacky crap with his name and face on it. So it doesn't surprise me he'd stop there. I'm betting it's more narcissism than a secret coded message.
That should be the installed price. There's 100-200 in equipment and 1-2 hours shop time. Finding a competent shop is sometimes the tricky part tho.
Hell, I'd bet a local car audio shop would put you in a hidden ignition kill switch for less than $200. I installed thousands of them in the 90's before immobilizers were semi-standard.
I don’t really know an affordable way to make it more secure
Basic car alarm goes a long way. Not only will it make a racket if they break in, but if it's installed properly, it will also disable the ignition, making it take much longer to get started. Most joyriders and opportunistic thieves will move on. Decent alarm should be in the 200-300USD range and it may reduce your insurance by that much or more.
Nothing is going to protect it 100%, you're just trying to make it harder to steal than the car across the street.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polylactic_acid Is the most commonly used printing material. I would rather eat that than just about any other "food safe" traditional plastic in my kitchen.
There are other concerns about the actual food safeness of printed objects because of their physical structure being a harbor for bacteria and such, but ingestion isn't one of them.

So if some can't enjoy something responsibly, no one can?
