That’s cheaper than a hi point and three times the gun..
Any gun "that" I'd buy with the possibility of losing I would NEVER EVER fill out paperwork for. Completely legal depending on FTF laws within your own state. That's just me and my tin foil hat though.
Having spent the better part of a day walking a twelve acre field looking for a billfold I am very hesitant to carry anything very valuable while driving a tractor. That is why I won't carry my Glock or S&W with me. Just too much money to be lost and I am a notorious cheapskate. I usually carry a single shot .410 pistol in a cross draw holster but haven't shot anything with it. There is one place we mow that is on the backside of nowhere that I have caught people stealing from the barns there. Also a lot of dope grown in that area. But the main reason I would want it is because I suspect a nearby house has some methheads living there.
Have I ever mentioned how much I hate methheads? Had to work with several over the years until we could get them fired or they got themselves arrested. We had a couple stop and talk to us last year while we were mowing and I did not like the way they acted. Did not make much sense when they talked.
Anyway, I have just traded for a Glock so I doubt if I can swing another one this quick. SWMBO would find that extravagant.

So I think my life might be endangered by some whacked-out druggie in the near future, what's the cheapest gun I can buy?
Take a Glock, and buy the grip plug to fill the hole in the grip base. Before you install the plug, drill a couple 3/16 holes in the base and run a boot lace through them, then tie it off to itself. Use it as a lanyard - if the gun falls out of your holster (you DO wear a holster, right?) it will let you know. If it catches in/on something, the lace will break - so no worries about getting dragged.
This is not a scenario you should go cheap on - unless your life is only worth $200 to you and your family.

Precisely! And take the dam thing out and learn how to use it, learn it's good points, bad points and eccentricities...preferably after a short course on gun safety.
