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!
Get a 12 gauge remington 870 shotgun and a 9mm glock handgun. Then take some basic gun training classes.
Get some double ought buck and slug rounds for the shotgun. One is large pellets and the other is a giant bullet. Slugs can reach out pretty far and will fuck someone up even if they are wearing armor.
Contrary to popular belief, smaller handguns are typically harder to shoot.
Without training and practice, guns are not very helpful. Make sure you get good training.
