Hello all here in the Colorado section, Glad to be a new member of the OpenCarry forums. All my friends call me Skrappy so you can all do the same. I'm new to Broomfield but I have been in Colorado for close to 5 years now. I have always had a love for guns and have been shooting rifles with my father ever sense I was a tot back in Georgia. The decline of the economy and rise in shady government actions has been causing people to do some odd and dumb things for some time now, but recently seeing such things as a "zombie" attack down in Miami has made me laughingly consider revisiting my old hobbies. But the more I think about going and buying a new gun the more excited I get. I have owned rifles but never a handgun. I have wanted one for a while but financially never gotten around to it. I found OCDO because I would like to OC my soon to be new tool/toy but wanted to be sure of the laws first, and boy am I glad I did considering how many GFSZ'z are in the Boulder and Broomfield area and Denver's no OC(I think that is some BS myself). Its cool to be able to learn from the forums and post questions now.
Thanks to the guys that have already welcomed me to the forums!
I'm sure several of you are interested in what I'm planning on picking up, and even more so could give some advice... I can say off the bat that I am not a fan of Glock, and I am looking for a single-action/double-action full sized pistol, weight isn't an issue. Right now I am leaning toward the Baby Eagle II, anyone have any particular experience with this firearm be it positive or negative. I'm also up for ideas on other single-action/double-action's. I was thinking sense it is my first pistol and I am used to shooting rifle prone or on a rest that I would go with a smaller caliber(no 22 tho) to help me get used to shooting with the unsupported recoil, any opinions on this?
