I Own a Gun [Gun Ownership]

I Bought A Gun... I want this gun to be an extension of my hand..I want to feel so comfortable that when I am forced to pull the trigger, the party on the other end knows I mean business.

I have to admit it was a little intimidating..walking into what seemed like the all male club..I I quickly got over that. The men in the aisle actually parted as i walked by..i guess I looked like I meant business.
I tried the 9MM Glock. that is a powerful gun..make no mistake on that one..but the grip was short and thick. the salesman said because it helda larger magazine..that will be my next gun.
I had pretty much made up my mind..I bought the Ruger LCP for a great price. .He was a little surprised i was so decisive. he recommended the ruger revolver. I stuck to my original choice..
What is so amazing is I did not second guess myself..Thanks for my EP friends, I had done my research and this seemed to be the best one for me..It actually looks like a toy gun..We have a 5 day waiting period here and then I take a class in april..

P.S. if you are looking for a man, forget Home Depot..this is the place!

I need to get to the range. there is no excuse to have a gun and not be able to use it..

If you haven't already, check with your local Sheriff's office. They usually have a CCW class, usually for free, paid for by taxpayer dollars, in your area. When I took one here, we had classroom time, Q&A, plus they gave instruction and we shot targets for about an hour. it's definitely worth looking into. :D
