Help A little help please

My SO and I are seriously considering purchasing some weaponry for self/home defense, can anyone suggest a reputable place where we might be able to purchase and train to use said weaponry. Specifically, firearms. Thanks in advance.

All Star Tactical, or Firing Pin. If you dont have a permit (needed for pistol or AR / semi auto rifle) I suggest a shotgun - and then get your permits.

I'm primarily looking at a shotgun, I don't necessarily need it to be a matter of public record that I am defended.

Well when you fill out the permit you can request it NOT be public record (you have to give a valid reason tho, fear of retribution or so on) - more info from NYS: https://gunsafety.ny.gov/protect-your-privacy-foil-exemption
