Nice! I used to love going to the quarry, or the woods in my old backyard with my dad for target practice. I love the ways the cans make that "clink" and sometimes move. I wasn't a bad shot, either. But my dad, he made sure we knew how to handle a gun once we were old enough to really understand the devastating consequences of misusing them. And it takes so little to make a mistake. I still long to go hunting, at least once, to prove to myself that I could do what's necessary to truly survive, even taking an animal's life. That's something which terrifies me. If I were to follow certain inclinations I'd at least be a vegetarian, if not vegan. I'm more comfortable being with someone who carries responsibly than with someone who's terrified of guns. That's for sure. Anyway. That's just a hodge-podge of my thoughts and emotions today. Thanks for the share, Bob!

If I lived in the US, I'd definitely collect guns, love them... Always wanted to have a Python .357, and I also have a thing for old guns, from WWI rifles to 18th century muskets...

I reccomend the Ruger SR9. It is a great buy for the money. Check Academy Outdoors

Sounds fun. I don’t think the concealed will reduce the required background check paperwork on future purchases. I have one for two states. Still need a check for every purchase.

I prefer a handgun... especially if you're going to carry concealed, but both certainly have their place.
