Just wanted to introduce myself. My wife and I picked up our first firearms (Ruger 22 bullnose and Ruger 10/22 Sporter rifle) for target practice.
My wife really enjoys target shooting and, to my great surprise, is actually interested in hunting (We're both 25). I've lurked here for about a month now, just reading everyone's stories, experiences, and acquainting myself (and everyone I know) with the open carry laws.
Now, my wife and I would love to meet up with some folks for a get together, but as we're just starting out neither of us own a holster and we only have one pistol (A lowly 22 at that). I'm curious what the etiquette is if we wanted to meet up with you folks but weren't actively open carrying ourselves. Should we wait until we get a second pistol and some decent holsters?
I'm not about to stuff it in my pants, but as I said, I'm new to all this and don't want to step on anyone's toes as that majority of the forum is quite older than we are.
That aside, I'm pretty sure my next handgun purchase is going to be anything that fits into that Serpa holster I saw at DGS in Seattle. What sexy beast that is. Any recommendations for a person new to actually PURCHASING firearms and planning to open carry?
I've talked to a private instructor over at Sam's and I know Agent 47 works at Sam's, so it's probably a good idea to swing by there and pick his brain too.
Anyway, just wanted to say howdy and ask some questions.
Cheers.
