As the title says, this is the final push needed for me to own a gun. We live in a relatively safe area and even though I’ve never been against owning a gun, I’ve never felt the need to get one. My wife who is very middle of the road politically wants us to get one now too, but we’ve never owned one before, so I have questions! You are all like family and I trust your opinions:
-
Forgive me, I don’t know much (Especially terms), but we’d probably want a pistol. Any recommendations for someone brand new to firearms?
-
What is the process like to acquire 1, especially in Commiefornia?
-
We would want to be safe, learn about how to safely shoot it, and go to a range to get lessons. Is it as simple as calling ahead of time and just bringing your gun in?
-
Any other tips for a noob?
Thanks fam!
My first time buying was recently. California has the strictest gun rules. There is a 10 day wait period. I don't live in California but I belive that AR 15s are not "California legal". Everyone on .win has their own opinion on which gun is th "best gun" but some people say the best kind of gun is one that works when you pull the trigger. With that said I will tell you my next gun purchasing strategy will be.
Make sure it's made in America. Americans make the best guns.
Simply ask what the Gun dealer thinks you should get. He will respond with a couple of questions of his own. And then this will narrow down your options. As long as your gun is American made you shouldn't have too many issues. Also think about maintenance. Is the gun prone to getting jammed? Does it need to be lubed? (mine doesn't cuz its treated with RF-85 material). Does it work well after being dropped on the ground? These are things you should consider and let your gun dealer help out with the rest.
as long as you are calm and seem behave like a stable human and remain unpanicked things will be smooth
I bought a rifle. The problem with rifles are that you can't really hide them well in a riot scenario. So think of that. Also, ammunition is a big thing. I just bought ammo from this website because its sold in bulk. https://www.bulkammo.com/rifle/bulk-5.56x45-ammo
You can buy a good gun for less than $700. Expensive doesn't always equal quality.
It might be cheaper to get two hand guns. One for you and one for your wife as opposed to one rifle. This is the more tactical option. Also I I belive 9mm ammo is cheaper. 45mm rile ammo is a bit pricey. So. Buy in bulk.
