I got a permit to buy a few months and havent used it.
Looks like its time now.
Just need to figure out what to get; haven’t used a handgun in 30 years.
Find a place where you can rent guns, and try several. Or have gun-owning friends take you to a range. Get a feel for the different kinds (semi-auto, revolver, and caliber) before you commit to a particular gun. Don't buy a specific gun just because the gun store clerk recommended it, or someone told you "this is what you need."
