As a future fireamrm owner, I very nmuch resent this characterization of me as a "trigger happy yahoo". I'm only like that on certain occasions, like around the NYTimes head office. See, that makes me a very responsible gun owner.
Sixty years ago, this POS rag hut would be downsized by the chair.
Future firearm owner? Why not now?
great tagline, amazing how far the field has shifted, unfortunately.
It's easy. Just takes a few simple steps.
- Decide why you want a firearm
- Join the NRA
- Take a firearms safety class
- Go to the range with an experienced shooter
- Understand the differences between rifles, shotguns, revolvers, and pistols.
- Decide what weapon is appropriate for your purpose (caliber, nightstand vs. carry, weight, recoil, alloy vs. all steel).
- Ask a gazillion questions (there's a bunch of us here on FR who can help you).
- Make the firearms purchase and don't forget several hundred rounds of practice ammo
- Practice, practice, practice.
Owning a gun is not like a set of steak knives in the drawer. Know your gun and... keep it CLEAN.
Here is my obligatory pic of my Sig P226 in 9 mm. Very simple and very reliable due to its simplicity.
Remeber, Glocks are Good, but Sigs are Supreme.
