Hi, I'm new here. I'm 27 years old and have a wife and two kids.
I only have one gun.... I own a Browning pump-action shotgun, which was my first real experience with guns. I mean, I shot a .22 in Boy Scouts and all, but that was pretty much it. My parents never had any guns when I was growing up. My father-in law gave me the shotgun as a Christmas present a year or two ago (maybe three now, time flies). I was lucky enough to make friends with a law enforcement officer who loves to shoot and owns a lot of guns. I've gone out shooting with him on several occasions, and he let me shoot many of his guns. So with him and my new-ish Browning shotgun, I began to gain lots of interest in guns. I had a friend recently get a CCP and he came over and showed me his gun and permit, etc..... That was the motivation for me to suddenly get into guns a lot more. I figure if he can get a permit, so can I. So I'm going to go take the class, probably the first saturday in June.
I'm going to buy a handgun for sure, (and I already have the wife's OK on this), I just don't know which one I'll get yet. Leaning toward a Kahr (because they're really light and thin) or the Sig p239 (because it's DA/SA, .40 and supposedly small enough to conceal without too much effort, and because of sig's renowned reliability)
